CHARLOTTE, NC – With apologies to former Clemson quarterback Chad Kelly, the best college quarterback in the country was in Charlotte Friday morning.
Clemson signal caller Deshaun Watson met with a throng of media Friday morning and early afternoon at the ACC Football Kickoff at The Westin in downtown Charlotte, and difference in Watson’s on-field persona and his off-the-field persona is striking.
On the field, Watson is fearless and stares down opposing defenses with a calmness and maturity that belies his years. On the field, he isn’t shy about celebrating a great play or even going to his trademark (and Cam Newton’s) trademark move – opening Superman’s cape.
