Falcons owner Arthur Blank is fond of Deshaun Watson from the days when the former Gainesville (Ga) High quarterback worked multiple years as a Falcons’ ball boy and developed a relationship with Blank's family. https://t.co/EypxrnF9ma

Here’s another team working to recruit Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson: the Atlanta Falcons, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Schefter characterized Atlanta as a “sleeper” in pursuit of Watson, who has also been linked to the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, and Cleveland Browns. He also noted that Falcons owner Arthur Blank is personally a fan of Watson, who worked with the team as a ball boy in his youth and starred at nearby Gainesville High School in Georgia. Watson grew up a Falcons fan.
