Oklahoma cornerback Zack Sanchez has seen his fair share of high-level quarterbacks. So when he was asked to describe the athleticism of Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, he compared him to a Big 12 star.

“I think (TCU quarterback) Trevone (Boykin) is the best athlete we’ve ever seen. I think he’s the best athlete we’ll probably see. They’re different quarterbacks: Deshaun’s a bigger guy, he’s not as swift on his feet as Trevone is, and there’s not a lot of guys that are. Not to say anything about Deshaun, or that he’s a bad athlete, but Trevone’s a different animal, man,” Sanchez said.

Sanchez also credited Watson for his accurate deep ball.

Afterward, Sanchez felt like his quote — a Twitterized version of it came out as “Trevone is the best athlete we’ve seen and ever will see” —Â was taken out of context, with some drawing the conclusion that he was saying Boykin was a better quarterback.

L O L at these media clowns ... Was talkin simply bout athleticism not QB play ... Idiots ... — Zack Sanchez (@ZSanchez15) December 27, 2015





Sanchez may ultimately be right, but it doesn’t matter: there are plenty of ways for that comment to be construed as bulletin board material.

Interestingly enough, Oklahoma didn’t even face Boykin this season as he sat out when the two teams played. Boykin passed for 318 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 77 more yards in TCU’s 37-33 victory in 2014.
