Tony Elliott describes Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson as a football junkie.
“If you go back and watch him, every Sunday, I think, he was at the Falcons’ game as a ball boy hanging around football,” the Tigers’ co-offensive coordinator said on Monday. “You saw him coming up with that passion for the game.”
That passion has translated into everything Watson does on and off the field. Watson’s coaches and teammates say he is one of the smartest guys they know, and he has a 4.0 GPA to back it up. His work ethic is unmatched and his football IQ is unlike anyone’s on the team.
