The last time Deshaun Watson played in a football game he was throwing for 269 yards and accounting for four touchdowns in Clemson’s 35-17 victory over archrival South Carolina in Death Valley.
Since then he had surgery to repair his ACL in his left knee, he has gone through vigorous rehabilitation, sat out spring practice, was named as the preseason favorite to win ACC Player of the Year honors and just wrapped up fall camp.
Oh, and by the way, he just started classes, too.
“I’m just taking it one day at a time,” said Watson, who will host Wofford, along with the rest of the 12th-ranked Tigers this Saturday in Death Valley.
