NFL commissioner Roger Goodell called Deshaun Watson’s behavior “egregious” and “predatory” Tuesday in response to a question about the league appealing a disciplinary officer’s recommendation to suspend the Browns quarterback for the first six games of the 2022 season.
“Because we’ve seen the evidence. She [disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson] was very clear about the evidence,” Goodell said, according to The Washington Post‘s Mark Maske. “She reinforced the evidence that there [were] multiple violations here and they were egregious and it was predatory behavior.”
