Clemson’s Deshaun Watson turning pro

Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson is going out on top.

The Georgia native announced after Monday’s national championship game that he will enter the NFL Draft after leading the Tigers to a 35-31 win over Alabama.

Watson passed for 420 yards and had four total touchdowns in his final college game, ending his career with another impressive performance against the nation’s top defense while delivering Clemson its first national championship since 1981.

“I think it’s my time to go, just kind of end it with a bang,” Watson said. “I’ve enjoyed the three years, and I just wanted to sign my name and end it with an exclamation point, and I think I did that.
