Clemson?quarterback Deshaun Watson believes he is the best player in the country no matter what the Heisman Trophy voters say.Im the best player in the country. Thats how I think. Thats how I feel. People have their own way of voting, Watson said Monday as Clemson wraps up its first week of practice before playing?Ohio State.Watson finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting to?Louisville?quarterback?Lamar Jackson. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney agrees with Watson that he should have won the Heisman Trophy, saying Heisman voters likely were numbed by Watsons amazing play over three years.Watson, his coach and his teammates think the voters for the Heisman and the all-conference teams got it wrong when it comes to the Clemson quarterback.Jackson also knocked Watson out of first-team Atlantic Coast Conference quarterback honors as well -- two disappointing blows to a driven competitor like Watson.Watsons 2016 stats are similar to his 2015 numbers in almost every category. He has thrown two more interceptions in two fewer games, but he also has thrown just four fewer passes so far this year than in 2015 for the Tigers (12-1).Swinney said the Heisman Trophy has been watered down as voters get swayed by the player who suddenly bursts on the scene and misses out on players like Watson, who are consistently good over a career.I think Deshaun is so good, people are numb to it, Swinney said.Both Watson and Swinney say they arent knocking Jacksons talent and they understand how he won. But unlike Jackson, who only has the Citrus Bowl against LSU left before his season ends, Watson hopes to be play two more games and achieve his ultimate goal when arriving Clemson from Gainesville, Georgia.You could put the national championship trophy and the Heisman, he wouldnt think twice about which one to pick, Swinney said.While the voters might have rejected Watson, the people who know football will validate his talent when he enters the NFL draft, Clemson co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said.As soon as this season is over, the scouts, GMs, head coaches and offensive coordinators will start speaking with Deshaun and he is going to go straight back to the top, Scott said.Swinney said Watson showed his leadership by taking full advantage of the experience of being a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist without letting the third-place finish in 2015 and the second-place finish in 2016 get to him.Im sure hes disappointed. But he hasnt expressed that at all, Swinney said.The Associated Press contributed to this report.cheap jerseys from china .

The 23-year-old is intense. He plays hard, and he wants to win in the worst way.It didnt happen Sunday in the Redskins 29-27 win on a fourth-quarter field goal.Despite being a distraction on the sideline, Beckham played well for the Giants (2-1).Going one-on-one with the immensely talented Norman most of the game, he had seven catches for a season-high 121 yards. His best plays came in the fourth quarter with the game on the line.Thats why quarterback Eli Manning wasnt concerned about Beckham on Wednesday when the Giants went over game film and started preparations for Monday nights game in Minnesota against the undefeated Vikings.In fact, he doesnt feel Beckham is a distraction.Hes an emotional player. He plays hard, he wants to win, Manning said. He wants to go out there. There are times where guys can get fired up on the sidelines when stuff happens. Its all: `Hey, can we get back poise, go out there, produce and make the plays. So again, Im not worried about it. I think hes making plays and doing a lot of good things. Hell continue to do that.Manning said he never talked to Beckham about what got him so upset.Whats more important is to stop making the mistakes that cost them this past weekend. They turned the ball over three times, including a fourth-quarter interception thrown by Manning in the red zone. They now have seven in three games.New York also cant have a repeat of the penalties. There were 11 for 128 yards, including five 15-yarders, including two that led to the ejection of center Weston Richburg.We have to understand that we have to protect the football, Manning said.We cant give them a short field. We have to play smart. Smarter than what weve been doing. Hopefully we can still go out there and execute. Hit some bigg plays and be explosive.ddddddddddddWe have to continue to do some of the good things that weve been doing.The offense has moved the ball, but it has scored only one touchdown in the second half.I think, obviously, were getting down there, we just have to find a ways; turnovers hurt, the penalties hurt, Manning said. So we have to find ways to stay in a good rhythm and good down and distance and not have the negative plays.New York lost halfback Shane Vereen for the season with a torn triceps muscle on Sunday. He was starting for Rashad Jennings, who hurt his left thumb in the win over New Orleans the previous week.Jennings hand was not taped on Wednesday and he said he expected to practice on Thursday. Whether he plays is up to the medical staff. If he cant, Orleans Darkwa, Bobby Rainey and rookie Paul Perkins are next in line.Every single back in our running back room is capable of getting the job done, Jennings said.Theres no question about that. Ive said that from day one. I think we did a good job. They understood the offensive system and how we were going to attack the Redskins defense. They plugged in and made plays along the way. Hats off to our offensive line and receivers blocking down field. They made some big plays.The Giants also have to worry about the cornerbacks this week. Starter Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (groin) and first-round draft pick Eli Apple (hamstring) said they felt a little better on Wednesday.Rodgers-Cromartie has done some light jogging. Apple does not know if he will practice on Thursday, but he had a hamstring injury at Ohio State and did not miss a game.Trevin Wade and Leon Hall got a lot of work against the Redskins, who had six passes of 20 or more yards, including touchdowns of 55 and 44 yards.We were undisciplined last game, it showed up in the penalties and also showed up on defense, giving up big plays, linebacker Jonathan Casillas said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
