Fiesta Bowl (December 31): Clemson QB Deshaun Watson

Deshaun Watson posted some gaudy numbers this season (3,914 yards passing and 37 touchdowns) and finished third in Heisman voting. Oh, and he guided Clemson into the National Playoff with 11 wins.

Watson isn’t quite as electric as Lamar Jackson, but he’s pretty darn close. He ran for 529 yards this season and averaged 9.9 yards every time he ran the ball. He averaged 40.7 yards per game which helped to open up the running game for Wayne Gallman and the passing game for his receivers.

This is Watson’s last collegiate game as he worked hard to earn his degree this winter. Look for him to have a massive game to prove to the NFL scouts he can play at the next level and for him to leave college on a high note with a much-wanted win.
