Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson believes his best football in the NFL remains ahead of him, despite his significant past off-field issues and struggles on the field since his return.
It is no secret that Cleveland fans would like to see the three-time Pro Bowler’s production return to a level much closer to his numbers from the 2020 season. In that year as a member of the Texans, Watson threw for 4,823 yards, 33 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. But on Wednesday, Watson told reporters that the new season gives him another opportunity to play in the league and be better than he was three seasons ago.
“I don’t want to return to that,” Watson said, per Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram and Medina Gazette. “… I want to be better than that guy. What I was in [2020], three years ago, I’m not the same guy. I feel like I’ve improved, evolved to a new level. … Last year was a tricky time where I was learning everything.
