The senior quarterback took a lot of criticism from scouts for his play despite overcoming so much adversity. After all, its not often you see a quarterback play in back-to-back National Championship games and get their moment of redemption the way Watson did.
After receiving his jersey and hat and shaking the commisioner’s hand. Watson was surprised by a letter from his mother that he read and it really got the water works going. Watson choked up by the end of the letter which was a heartfelt moment for him.
