The announcement has been made and Deshaun Watson finished second in this year’s Heisman race. In this edition of What They Are Saying we look at some of the reaction on Twitter after the winner was announced.
A trophy could never define your impact…
With respect, admiration and gratitude from the entire #ClemsonFamily:
Thank you, Deshaun. 🐅🐾 pic.twitter.com/hhPap4Ag6C

The Heisman award is officially a joke. Wow #NotMyHeisman

That’s a shame. Best player in the country doesn’t allow his team to lose 3 games in 1 year. Guy sitting next to him lost 3 in whole career

Whether he wins the Heisman tonight or not, #Clemson's Deshaun Watson's a terrific representative of college football.
