Will Deshaun Watson Post a Big Year?

MMQB's Matt Verderame thinks that Deshaun Watson has plenty of reasons to post a big year in 2023, after visiting the team at practice on Monday.

As part of MMQB's tour of all 32 NFL training camps, Matt Verderame was in Berea on Monday to visit the Cleveland Browns. Verderame appears to have had an opportunity to interview and visit with players and Head Coach, Kevin Stefanski.

As part of his article, Verderame listed the best thing that he heard during his visit as what Stefanski had to say about quarterback Deshaun Watson.

"One more year in our system, obviously a full offseason, a full training camp where we know he’s playing in Game 1. I think that’s part of it where everything we do in camp is getting him ready. And, ultimately, it’s his comfort level in our system that’s most important.”

Verderame went on to elaborate further on what the Browns are feeling about Watson heading into the 2023 season. He stated that the team attributed his his performance during the last six games of last year largely to rust and being unsettled. Two things that the team believes won't be a problem this year. 

He went on to say that since Deshaun will be more comfortable, coupled with being surrounded by an excellent offensive line, top-notch running game, quality receivers and an offensive minded coach, that Watson has no reason not to post a big year.

Verderame is just another person who has been impressed by what he has seen and heard after watching the team on the practice field this training camp. For the teams sake, we are hopeful that the reps witnessed on the practice field translate to game days.
