Apart from being the consensus number one team, Deshaun Watson also returns as the frontrunner for the Heisman trophy. But what improvements, if any, does Watson need to make this year?

Deshaun does a great job and he is one of the main reasons that Clemson football is considered one of the favorites to make it back to the College Football Playoff this season.

He can always work on improving his overall physique and continue to get stronger, but Watson looks a lot thicker than he did last year, which is good news for Tiger fans.

If I had to say one area he could improve upon is his selectivity and decision making. Especially in the second half of the season, he sometimes tried to fit balls into extremely tight holes and that led to 13 interceptions. Although not all those picks were his fault, it’s still an area that he could use some work on.
