On Friday, Deshaun Watson opened up a new restaurant on the east side of Cleveland called Lefty's. Kevin Stefanski joined the celebration sporting his Glenville Tarblooders sweatshirt and carved out some time to talk on Watson's podcast, QB Unplugged.

The entire conversation is a must listen for Browns fans but one part in particular stood out above the rest.

Watson took the time to address Kevin Stefanski directly, complimenting the culture that his head coach has built.

"I'm going to give you your flowers live, coach," remarked Watson. "The things that you do for the organization and for this community, but for the locker room. The guys talk about it every day. That is a big testimony to what you and AB (are) doing for this organization and this community. It is something that is special. That is why we go out there every Sunday and we give you 110 percent."

This offseason has said a lot about the relationship that Stefanski has built with his quarterback. After flying out to Los Angeles to visit with Watson and introduce him to Ken Dorsey to being there for this restaurant opening, it is evident that these two see eye to eye.

Not only is that important for how the two get along in the building but it is extra important to how they operate in between the white lines on Sundays.

The string is out on the Watson experiment. The 2024 season has to go well for the eighth year man and the urgency is turned all the way up. Being in the stable environment that Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry have built will go a long way to him having a successful season.
