Lawrence admires the way Watson plays, leads

Trevor Lawrence wants to be Trevor Lawrence, not Deshaun Watson or anyone else.

When the 6-foot-5, 215-pound quarterback enrolled at Clemson last January, everyone wondered if he would be the next Deshaun Watson. Of course, Watson led the Tigers to two national championship game appearances, including a win over Alabama in the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship.

Along the way, Watson set a ton of Clemson records and was a two-time Heisman Trophy Finalist. He also became the first two-time winner of the Davey O’Brien Award as the nation’s best quarterback, as well as winning the Manning Award in back-to-back seasons.
