1. Deshaun Watson | Quarterback | Clemson

This was the easiest choice to make out of all of the other players on this list. While Watson didn’t win the Heisman this season, he is one of the main reasons why Clemson is still in the hunt for a National Championship.

Watson led the conference in passing yards and passing touchdowns, which gives him the nod as the best player Louisville faced this season.

He had an amazing five touchdown passes against the Cardinals back in October, however Louisville did force him to throw three interceptions in Clemson’s win.

That was only the second time that Watson threw three picks in one game this year. The other game was the Tigers’ 43-42 loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers.
