Dwight Jones hears the raves about Sammy Watkins.

"Yep, hear 'em all the time. You can't not hear them," Jones, a senior receiver at North Carolina, said Wednesday.

Watkins, a freshman at Clemson, is arguably the hottest thing afoot in ACC football this season.

On an undefeated team ranked eighth nationally, Watkins is squarely in the discussion for ACC rookie and player of the year awards.

Jones, the league's top-ranked NFL wideout senior prospect, can match Watkins stat for stat.
