If you turn on ESPN or ESPNU these days, odds are Deshaun Watson’s name or face will come up on your television alongside other Heisman hopefuls. If you turn on the radio, someone is talking about his amazing skill set, and how he is the best quarterback in the country.
I’m writing about him, as are other writers, while Clemson fans are dreaming and talking about national championships. One former Clemson player I recently spoke to, who had a long career in the NFL, asked me if I thought too much pressure was being put on Watson.
“He is a 19-year old kid, I just wonder if we are expecting too much from him,” the player asked.
