Deshaun Watson was traded to the Cleveland Browns from the Houston Texans as he seeks to kickstart a new era in Cleveland replacing Baker Mayfield in search of success.
The past year had been really bad for Deshaun as he faced many criminal allegations against him and he had to prove that he was innocent to resume his career back in the NFL.
After the jury declared that Deshaun Watson was not guilty, he immediately started the search for the new team and ultimately landed in Cleveland, which is the best place for him to contend for a Super Bowl.
He spoke during his introduction as the Browns quarterback and said, “I understand the whole circumstances is very difficult, Especially for the women’s side of the fans in this community. I’m not naïve to that. I know these allegations is very, very serious, but like I mentioned before, I’ve never assaulted any woman. I never disrespected any woman.”
He added, “I was raised by a single-parent mom who has two aunties who is her sister. That’s who raised me. I was raised to be genuine and to respect everyone and everything around me. So I’ve always defended that and I will continue to stand on that. I just want the opportunity to be able to show who I really am in the community and be hands on and help people and serve other people.”
Deshaun Watson was asked if he had any regrets about how the past year has unfolded, and he further said, “I don’t have any regrets Like I said before, the things that are off the field right now that came up caught me by surprise because I never did anything that these people are alleging. I know a lot of people said that I took the year off, and I used that to be able to clear my name, like the previous two weeks, and just continuing to fight that. And I just continue to work and become a better person and better player and just a better son, like my mom has always taught me.”
Watson as of now is guilty free and is ready to play football for the Cleveland Browns as he looks to repair his image in the world by performing at the level at which he was performing before all of this as everyone knows he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league when playing.
