Deshaun Watson’s Feelings on Browns Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders Revealed

Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders have hit it off in the Cleveland Browns quarterback room.

Watson is recovering from two surgeries on his Achilles and is expected to miss most, if not all, of next season. However, Watson has remained a strong presence around the Browns’ facility and in the quarterback room. He’s also formed a special connection with Sanders, who the Browns selected in the fifth round.

Watson has reportedly taken Sanders “under his wing,” per Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com.

“Watson, famously dubbed a ‘big swing and a miss’ by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam at the NFL Annual Meetings in March, has also taken Sanders under his wing to help him come up the learning curve quickly, and it’s been working,” Cabot said. “Sanders’ Hall of Fame dad, Deion, publicly supported Watson when some Browns fans cheered while he was down on the field in tears with his retorn Achilles Oct. 20 against the Bengals, and Watson is only too happy to repay the favor.”
