Deshaun Watson lands another award as NFL draft looms

FORT WORTH, Texas — Deshaun Watson is trying to approach everything leading to the NFL draft as having fun and enjoying the process while preparing for another once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Having accomplished his goal of a national championship at Clemson, the dual-threat quarterback said he is now working hard preparing for the draft. The next step is the NFL combine, where he anticipates being a full participant.

"That's the plan," Watson said Monday. "Run, throw, meetings, everything."

Six weeks after his last-second touchdown pass pushed Clemson past Alabama 35-31 in the College Football Playoff title game, Watson was presented his second consecutive Davey O'Brien Award as the nation's top quarterback.
