Georgia and Alabama will take the field at Mercedes Benz Stadium on Monday night to determine college football’s national champion for 2017. The opportunity to play in a national championship game was something a handful of 2017 Texans had in their college careers as well.
We all know that Deshaun Watson led Clemson to last year’s national championship, but he got plenty of help from defensive lineman Carlos Watkins. The year prior, Watson and Watkins were also in the national championship game against Alabama with second year defensive lineman D.J. Reader alongside.
