Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson slams back at critics ahead of the playoffs
|Deshaun Watson defined his connection with the Cleveland Browns and addressed his critics directly with a stern message ahead of the season’s final week.
Watson has been out of action due to season-ending shoulder surgery. He’s spent some time away from the squad in Los Angeles for recovery. Watson, on the other hand, has maintained constant contact with the team.
“They appear to be in good condition. “I talk to Kevin [Stefanski] and Andrew Berry every week,” Watson stated on the QB Unplugged podcast with Quincy Avery. “I talk to Jimmy Haslam every week.”
After Sunday, the Browns will have used five different quarterbacks this season. This season, Watson, youngster Dorian Thompson-Robinson, PJ Walker, and Joe Flacco have all started games. Jeff Driskel, a newly signed veteran, will start against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Flacco has thrived in Cleveland, going 4-1 and throwing for over 300 yards in four straight games. With the offense clicking on all cylinders under Flacco, Watson has faced criticism. However, he is overjoyed with the Browns’ triumph.
“They win and go to the Super Bowl; I’m going to the Super Bowl.” “They get a ring, I get a ring,” Watson, who is signed to a $230 million fully guaranteed contract, said. “I’m not tripping on any of that.” I’m hurt, so I can’t help you. People simply want something to say and discuss. It’s all very personal to them. This is a lot of fun for me.”
Deshaun Watson Says Browns ‘Setting the Tone’
