On the way over to the Heisman Trophy Presentation last Saturday in New York, Dabo Swinney was doing everything he could to get his quarterback, Deshaun Watson, excited about where he was and what possibly could take place in the hours to come.
“I was like, ‘Let’s go! Let’s go, man! It’s the Heisman!’ You know. He is just like, ‘Yeah, okay,’” Swinney recalled about the conversation.
But that is Deshaun Watson. As the Clemson quarterback has said throughout the year, no moment is too big. Perhaps that’s why he was in New York as a Heisman Trophy Finalist to begin with.
