Browns Quarterback Deshaun Watson Claims Transformation in Recent Interview.
Deshaun Watson, now the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, is gearing up for his first complete season with the team.
After facing an 11-game suspension due to the NFL's personal conduct policy violations, resulting from accusations of sexual misconduct by multiple women, Watson only managed to start the final six games for the Browns in 2022. Prior to that, he had sat out the 2021 season while seeking a trade away from the Houston Texans. Now, as he preps for a full season, Watson emphasizes he's evolved as a player, surpassing his previous form when he led the NFL in passing back in 2020.
«I've come a long way since then,» Watson stated, as reported by ESPN's Jake Trotter. «I believe I've advanced in my skills and matured on the field. I'm eager to showcase this new version of myself.»
In 2020, Watson racked up 4,823 yards with 30 touchdowns and achieved a QBR of 70.5. Contrastingly, his recent season ended with a QBR of 38.3, placing him lower than most starting QBs.
Reflecting on his performance, Watson said, «The previous year was a period of adjustment and learning. I aim to be not just a reflection of my past successes in Houston but to surpass that and set new benchmarks here in Cleveland.»
The Browns are set to kick off their season against the Cincinnati Bengals this upcoming Sunday.
