The resurgence of Clemson can come down to two people: QB Tajh Boyd and WR Sammy Watkins. Many of times I’ve seen Clemson games and thought

“that guy with the dreds is killing them”

And kill is exactly what Watkins does best. The plays he makes aren’t routine. They are back breaking returns, or runs after the catch. But don’t get things confused he isn’t a gadget player. With his reception numbers, he is the leader of Clemson’s receiving unit.. AS A FRESHMAN. On Saturday against Maryland, Watkins broke CJ Spiller’s school record 335 all purpose yards (33 rush, 105 rec, 207 return).

Watkins has 855 yards from scrimmage already on the season, with 728 being receiving yards. He is undoubtedly the ACC Freshman of the year.
