What to expect from Deshaun Watson in 2023
Not too long ago, Deshaun Watson used to be a top-five quarterback in the NFL. However, his football career has suffered due to factors caused solely by him, and he looked like a shell of his former self last season.
Since being selected by the Houston Texans in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, the player has been one of the finest dual-threat QBs in the league. The versatile shot caller put up sub-par stats in his first season, with a stat line of 1,699 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, a decent return for seven games. However, he became a different player in his sophomore season.
Watson proved his worth in his second season at center for the Texans, throwing for 4,165 yards, 26 touchdowns, and a mere nine interceptions in 16 games. He put up similar numbers in his third season, dropping 3,852 passing yards, 26 TDs, and twelve picks in fifteen appearances.
The Clemson Tigers alum took it a notch higher in year four as he put the league on notice by playing the best football of his career. He put up a stat line of 4,823 passing yards, 33 touchdowns, and a paltry seven interceptions (all career-best totals) in 16 games. He was earning his spot among the finest shot callers in the league.
The less said about his fifth year, the better, as the quarterback had some nasty allegations levied against him. It caused him to miss the 2021 NFL season as he battled to clear his name. He was eventually suspended at the start of the 2022 NFL season, during which he was traded to the Cleveland Browns.
Deshaun Watson enters the 2023 NFL season with a point to prove and an entire pre-season under his belt. It remains to be seen whether he proves his detractors wrong in what would be an interesting subplot in the upcoming NFL season.
