Trevor Lawrence
Clemson fans will be able to debate whether Watson or Lawrence was the greatest quarterback of all time for years to come. I have my opinion, but when it comes to this subject, it is irrelevant. Both would have been great EA Sports College Football quarterbacks who I would have led to several National Championships.
Lawrence announced his arrival in the spring game as a freshman. From that moment on, Tiger Nation couldn’t wait to see what he could do.
One thing about that first season that many of us don’t remember or think about: Lawrence was often uncoordinated and downright clumsy. He could throw a ball a mile but he never looked like he was a guy who would one day run for a 67-yard touchdown scramble against Ohio State in a College Football Playoff semifinal.
EA Sports would have made him a great passing quarterback as a sophomore, but as a junior they would have added the running ability that the nation saw in that Fiesta Bowl.
The team’s biggest success came when Lawrence was a freshman, but his incarnation as a senior in 2020 would have been an unstoppable machine in the video game. Great passer and runner, all wrapped up in a 6’-6” frame.
