Ben Roethlisberger, who said earlier this season that he was "really surprised" the Cleveland Browns didn't draft Carson Wentz with the second overall pick, took it one step further on Wednesday.

"I thought for sure he was going to Cleveland," Roethlisberger said. "There was not a doubt in my mind that he wasn't a perfect AFC North quarterback, a great fit for you guys and everything. Then when everything transpired, I was blown away by it, but you never know.

"It's early in his career. You hate to jump to conclusions and call him the same thing as me, who has been in the league for 13 years, but only time will tell if that same thing kind of happened there, too."

Roethlisberger and Wentz share an agent. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback admits that he's still fueled by being passed over by the Browns at No. 6 in 2004.

Deshaun Watson will declare for the 2017 NFL Draft as he will be honored by Clemson on Senior Day on Saturday.

Wayne Gallman, Mike Williams and Artavis Scott will also declare early and be honored.

"Those guys indicated to me back in the summer that this was going to be it for them," Dabo Swinney said. They were going to graduate in December and their plan was to be a senior. They're more seniors than some of the seniors."

Watson is expected to be one of the first quarterbacks selected.
