Nick Saban was probably seeing Deshaun Watson drop dimes in-between defenders in his dreams for weeks following the National Championship this year.
After his Alabama Crimson Tide were dominant against everyone they played all year, Watson chopped the Crimson Tide defense to bits in the games biggest game of the season en route to winning the national title.
That is part of the reason why Nick Saban is so perplexed why many are doubting Deshaun Watson’s ability to play at a high level in the NFL.
Speaking with ESPN before the NFL draft began, Saban described himself as being “mind-boggled”.
