Athlon Sports released a compilation of statements Wednesday by  ACC coaches who anonymously voiced their opinions about each team in the conference.

Georgia Tech’s most critical review came from an ACC coach who though Dedrick Mills is by far the best asset the Yellow Jackets had last season.

"They had a freshman back (Dedrick Mills) that is going to be pretty good, but other than that, their personnel is probably towards the bottom of our league,” the anonymous ACC coach said.

During his freshman season, Mills recorded a team-high of 771 yards and 13 total touchdowns in nine games.

Georgia Tech (9-4, 4-4) finished last season fifth in the ACC Coastal.

The rest of the anonymous opinions from ACC coaches can be read on Athlon Sports' official website.
