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.
