Where Watson, Lawrence Rank Among Top College QBs of 2000s

ESPN ranked the top 90 college quarterbacks of the 2000s (subscription required), and
it’s no surprise that former Clemson stars Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence
landed high on the list.
A two-time Heisman Trophy finalist, Watson nearly cracked the top five, coming in at
No. 6.
Watson, who guided Clemson to consecutive College Football Playoff appearances —
with the school’s second national championship in 2016 — led the Tigers to 28 wins
over his final two seasons. He threw for 10,163 yards and 90 career touchdowns, and
compiled a 32-3 record as a starter.
