Who is Deshaun Watson

Deshaun Watson was drafted No. 12 overall by the Houston Texans in the 2017 NFL Draft, after Mitchell Trubisky (No. 2 overall) and Patrick Mahomes (No. 9 overall). Watson started the 2017 season as a backup to Tom Savage, but eventually seized the starting job. This was only to tear his ACL during practice later that season. He showed enough on the field, however, that he was named to the Pro-Football Writers Association’s All-Rookie Team. Watson finished the following season (2018) with career highs of 4,165 passing yards, 26 touchdowns to nine interceptions, 551 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. He also led the Texans to the playoffs, where they lost in the Wild Card Round to the Indianapolis Colts.

The following year (2019), Watson led the Texans back to the playoffs, where they bounced back from a 16-0 deficit to beat the Buffalo Bills 22-19 in overtime. The following week, they played the Kansas City Chiefs, where they jumped out to a 24-0 lead, but lost by an eventual 51-31 score. That year, Watson finished top five with 5.4 Deep Ball Attempts Per Game. In September of 2020, Watson signed a four-year contract worth up to $177.5 million dollars, intended to keep him tied to the Texans’ franchise through the 2025 season.

Despite Watson having the second highest true passer rating (113.3) in the NFL and finishing with a fantasy ranking of QB12 or higher for ten weeks of the 2020 season, the Texans still finished with a losing record. Watson demanded a trade following that season; however, the emergence of sexual-harassment allegations put a pause on trade negotiations. Many teams were linked to Watson as his legal situation unfolded, but the Browns ultimately offered Houston a generous package of players and picks and convinced Watson to drop his no-trade clause to go to Cleveland for a fully guaranteed $230 million dollars over five seasons. Deshaun Watson will reboot his career in the Dawg Pound in 2022.
