NFL | Deshaun Watson to do everything at Combine
Clemson QB Deshaun Watson said he anticipates full participation at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Footballguys View: Watson is likely to be a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft, but mock drafts have him all over. With a good performance at the combine, Watson could conceivably go off the board before any other quarterback in this class. Watson shines bright in big games, and he can throw with anticipation and touch. He’s athletic enough to eat up yards with his legs if the play breaks down.

Bengals | Andrew Whitworth listening to offers
Cincinnati Bengals OT Andrew Whitworth is poised to test the free agent market ‘unless blown away by a massive contract offer’ from team management. ‘At this point in my career it’s about the challenge, the excitement of trying to win that Super Bowl,’ Whitworth said. ‘I want to make sure wherever it is, and hopefully it’s in Cincinnati, that team is prepared to try and fight for that trophy.’ Whitworth has never been part of a playoff victory in 12 NFL seasons.
