Deshaun Watson named CFB Athlete of the Decade

But still not good enough for a Heisman Trophy.
That award has lost its luster for me.

But at the same time, not winning it and then obliterating the "best defense" ever might have earned him the title of best college QB ever (until TL is drafted). I think since he was passed over, folks will try and revise that as best they can. I still think that LJ was a worthy winner and the problem is that the trophy was given before the end of the season.

What Clemson's previous coach John Heisman say about the trophy in his honor today? He probably rolled over in his grave in 2016 when DW4 was passed up.

I'm starting to think

There may be a Heisman curse, the only school he coached at to ever have a winner of the award is Auburn.

Good on Sporting News for the award!

DW4 most certainly earned it the hard way!

When you consider all the great players in college football in the last ten years. Shows you how big the

We have to wait another 81 years for that award to be handed out. Deshaun has a great chance to win it, but I have zero chance to be here to see it.

The Heisman award lost a lot when they removed "Character" from the requirements. If memory serves me, that happened to coincide with Jameis Winston winning the Heisman.

.... And just like Vince Young, the Heisman snubbed him


Dec 17, 2019, 3:59 PM

We all know who the best player was on the field in 2015 and 2016.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That's just the two full years he started.


Dec 17, 2019, 4:01 PM

"For his collegiate career, he passed for 9,201 yards with 83 touchdowns and 29 interceptions. On the ground, Watson had 1,744 yards and 21 touchdowns."

DW4 had another couple hundred yards rushing and almost 1500 yards passing in his Freshman season.

Got to do your homework before posting a story!

Clemson QBs hold some very distinguished NCAA 1STs!!


Dec 17, 2019, 5:58 PM

Woody Dantzler - 1st QB in NCAA football history to pass for 2000 yards and rush for 1000 yards in the same season

DeShaun Watson - 1st QB in NCAA football histoey to pass for 4000 yards and rush for 1000 yards in the same season

No matter how many more times it happens, Clemson University will be beside the name of the QB who accomplished these feats 1ST!!
