Clemson. Deshaun Watson. 16. player. 32. . QB

The Arizona Cardinals are one of the better all-around teams in the NFC, even though they have failed to play like it this season. The team has some nice young wide receivers, and their running back is the future of the position. The only issue they have on their offense is the age of their quarterback, who may only have a year or two of good football left in him.

The 2017 NFL Draft has a handful of quarterbacks who could find themselves selected in the first round, including Clemson’s Deshaun Watson. Watson has been a record-breaking quarterback during his time with the Tigers, and is one of the more NFL-ready signal-callers in this draft. He is the kind of player who others on the team looks at to lead them, and he more times than not comes through in big situations.

This past week, Watson threw for an incredible 580 yards during the team’s first loss of the season. With Carson Palmer getting up there in age, the franchise will be looking for the next face to lead the team. Watson is the kind of player, and person to take a franchise on his back and lead them for the next ten years.
