These two are the best freshmen WR duo since Julio/Green, and I actually think you can make an argument these two were even better but that's for another thread.

I know this will be an ongoing debate throughout their careers, but who ya got?

I go Watkins by the slimmest of margins because Lee has the edge at QB and sidekick (although DeAndre Hopkins is a badass but he's not Robert Woods good).

Let's hear it.

Watkins was dominant from week 1, while it took Lee a few games to get adjusted. Also, Lee benefitted from having Robert Woods and Matt Barkley as well.

Yea they lose I think like 3 OL, but if they get some decent replacements that offense will be fuuuuuun to watch.

I was at the Florida State game, and you just can't understand how much attention teams pay to Watkins until you see it in person, just ridiculous.

These two freshmen are ridiculous, and the Blank Mamba might be the most fun to watch of all three.

Watkins will win in a landslide here on a southern biased site.

Hmm?

Someone playing in the South who everyone saw play weekly.

Or someone who plays on the West Coast who (I can tell from comments) most people haven't seen much of...oh, and plays for USC!

Yeah, this will be close.

Do people with mainstream cable really see that much more of Clemson than USC? Serious question. I have the DirectTV Sports Package so I watch almost every single game, but it doesn't seem to me that Clemson would be on that much more than USC. I seem to remember every other USC game being a big one that everyone saw.

You did not see USC in a bowl we did see Watkins vs WVU

I have no clue who Lee is but I know we tend to discount things we don't know simply human nature

Because Watkins is from Ft Myers in the SEC footprint we have heard his name long before he suited up at Clemson
