2. Deshaun Watson
Right in front of Steve Fuller is the man that wears his patch each and every game. Deshaun Watson is the first player to wear number four after it was retired in honor of Steve Fuller. I know that many would not have him this high on the list, but you have to realize what Watson has done in what has not even been two years as a Clemson quarterback.

Going into Conference Championship week, Deshaun Watson has already thrown for 4,689 yards and 41 touchdowns to just 12 interceptions. He has also rushed for 956 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground.
Watson already has led Clemson to a 12-0 season, something only Homer Jordan could do, and he still has the opportunity to play in at least two more games before his junior season begins.
Watson is on track to be third on the all-time passing list for yardage before this season ends or at the beginning at next season. He trails Cullen Harper by a little over 1,000 yards and has done so in less games.
Unfortunately, Watson will not get to break some career records due to the fact he will be in the NFL after his Junior season, but none can argue how special this guy is and how much he deserves to be on this list. Watson has the ability to throw the ball and run the ball and should go in the first round and become the highest Clemson quarterback ever taken in the NFL Draft.
