Nice Article How Houston Went After DW4


Oct 3, 2017, 10:17 PM

Haven't seen this posted. Houston Chronicle article about how Houston coveted DW4. Also mentions Clemson several times.

http://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/texans/article/Texans-GM-pulled-out-the-stops-to-land-coveted-QB-12250895.php

Excerpt:

"Deshaun's got a presence about him that the best ones have," Smith said. "It's almost like an energy, a sense of calm when you're in a heightened environment, a pressure situation, and emotions get high. Anxiety rises.

"If you have the ability to calm your emotions and make good decisions in that environment, it ends up with good results. I think it's something inside him. He was blessed to have been in the right environment (at Clemson) to cultivate that."

This is good for us, really good.

Right now, NFL teams will look at our available players and will want to go after them. The reason is not talent alone, it’s also how we’ve molded our players. Our players have better work ethics. It’s like the completely opposite of someone like Johnny Manziel. Then, high school recruits will want to come to Clemson seeing how we could turn them into NFL players.

Well oiled machine!

I noticed that Smith called it Deshauns Team

Pretty awesome when the GM is calling it your team when you've only made three starts.

I was formally known as Furious george and have changed my name to match the name I use to call on WCCP radio.


KC was one of two teams that picked a QB ahead of Watson

I hope he makes them see how stupid that was.

Its fun reading articles like this


Oct 4, 2017, 8:23 AM

You read where people are so impressed by Watson and amazed at who is he is on and off the field. And we Clemson fans have been preaching this for three years.

Maybe Dabo was right when he referred to DW as MJ

I noticed they mentioned arm strength.

The morans pre-draft were worried about his ball velocity and how he wouldnt be able to get the ball to his receivers when he needed to.
