Deshaun Watson has captivated the Georgia high school football community through incredible performances that have made him the state’s all-time passing leader. The Gainesville quarterback boosted his career total above 11,000 passing yards Friday night, just three weeks after he became the first player in the history of the state to reach the 10,000-yard mark. What’s often overlooked is the senior’s running ability, but he made sure at least Cedar Shoals was reminded of what he can do with his feet.
