During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show Tuesday, Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney went off on a rant slamming those who say star quarterback Deshaun Watson isn’t a first-round talent.
Swinney didn’t hold back, saying the talk is “absolutely the craziest thing” and that those analysts should be fired.
“They should lose their jobs,” Swinney said, via Yahoo! Sports. “That is absolutely the craziest thing.
“They don’t know Deshaun. This guy is going to —I can’t even tell you how brilliant he is as a football player, as a person. How impactful of a man and human being he is. He’s going to change a locker room the day he gets there. He’s just so driven, so humble. Unbelievable understanding of his platform. And his skillset is off the charts. He can do anything and everything.”
Watson officially declared for the 2017 NFL Draft following the Tigers’ win over Alabama in the national championship.
In two national title game appearances, Watson has had incredible success against the Crimson Tide defense, so he certainly has the talent to excel wherever he lands.
Throughout his college career, Watson threw for 10,163 yards, 90 touchdowns and 32 interceptions.
