I am not surprised by Watson’s performance in the least bit. Throughout his three years at Clemson, Watson consistently demonstrated superior natural ability, but, more importantly a unique focus. The bigger the moment the better Deshaun Watson performs.

Watson seemed to have improved his already high draft stock with his performance on the field today. NFL scouts were sure than he was a good athlete, however, the consistent accuracy and smooth footwork showed that he has the tools to be a day-one starter in the NFL.
