Deshaun Watson's 2017 Rookie Year Highlights | NFL

[@youllcowardsdontevensmokec3656]

Man, kinda sucks we lost what could've been the greatest rookie season of all time. As a football fan, I'm extremely saddened by this news.

[@Demerey]

Blatant_Haxorus12 It would've been. He was on pace for over 40 TD's.

[@TexasKing100]

42 to be exact, wouldve been 9th all time and wouldve shattered the previous rookie one of 26

[@Hoodrowwilson...]

He was on pace for over 40 touchdowns and an easy mvp, also like 18 picks though

[@dalefisher3211]

Idk bout the greatest roomie season ever it's been many of great rookie season first alone is Randy moss

[@Haylem]

and then mahomes came

[@Bro_DT]

never had a ROOKIE QB make me jump out of my seat EVERY game he's played... Watson made it look a little to easy

[@Mikey-ct3qf]

And he still is 😉

[@DJ_TRON]

[@Bro_DT]

@@DJ_TRON idk, Watson put up extremely ridiculous numbers in just 6 games. Almost beat Brady and the Patriots too. But of course a minute is too much time remaining

[@JustBombsProductions]

Damn, that sucks. I feel for Deshaun, but he's always been able to bounce back. Not only did he bounce back from an ACL injury he suffered as a Freshman at Clemson, he came back last year to win the National Championship after losing the year before. I am confident that Watson will be able to recover and play as well as he was this season.

[@luis70902]

JustBombsProductions lemme get a shoutout

[@oworld4057]

Recover from what?

[@ChevonneReynolds]

JustBombsProductions I agree 100%! My heart still hurts for him as well as the city of Houston. It's a good thing the Astros won the WS. #stillsuckstho

he is ahead of schedule by 2 months he's one of those people that are fast healers.

[@morbidlyobeast6971]

I just graduated from Clemson in December and I met Deshaun once on campus. He was literally the nicest guy ever. I hope he comes back strong because if anyone deserves it, it's this guy.

[@T3rminata]

Really wanted to get that record for most pass tds for a rookie. Really earned it

[@rayrayvids5681]

[@TylerH.45]

rick fedorick Hey Peyton Manning threw 28 INT’s his rookie year. Some players are just too urgently gunslinger their rookie year.

[@jakejake5545]

rick fedorick 2/8 of his ints are hail marrys 2/8 are tipped He only has 4 ints that are his fault

[@royalace2271]

A lot of people kept saying Watson is another RG3 because they think he's a run first QB. If anyone who actually understands football & watches Watson plays, he is not a run first QB. There is a difference between running with the ball & scrambling to buy more time for things to open up. Deshaun Watson is a pocket passer that has the ability to run.

[@jalenking2605]

Royal Ace Way more like Russell Wilson than RG3 💯

[@dred9174]

Stop comparing every black QB to RG3 18 of his 19 TDs came from the pocket the man a carbon copy of Russel Wilson only difference is he's taller. Spread the word to all these people who don't know football.

You can't miss half the season and still win any awards other than WPMoY. Dalvin Cook was amazing, but he won't play enough to win anything. Most likely going to Fournette, but also could go to Kareem Hunt.

[@joshuatraffanstedt2695]

Tim Schröder at least he's only in yearone. Better to suffer an injury like that as a young man than to be 35.. At 35, that's a career ending injury. He just needs to develop his pocket game at this level. Even the corners and safeties can light your ass up. He also needs to slide when he runs. He'll learn. He's just used to being the best athlete on the field. In the NFL, that's not the case.

[@erikcoker5532]

And he wasn't even at full speed on that Bengals td. That was all vision by Watson

[@greshamsmith3923]

I'll admit, I wasn't sure that skill wise, Watson"s game would transfer from college to the NFL. I knew he was an outstanding leader. But this guy is legit! He didn't come out doing this, rush/ scramble deal, exceptefor a few times. Dude stands in the pocket and throws absolute lasers! I'm calling it now, if Watt, Clowney, Hopkins and Watson stay healthy, they'll win a Super Bowl.

[@AtillatheHun]

Ooof😂

[@andrewjones7150]

This is what he literally showed at Clemson and in high school. He is a pocket passing QB who just happens to be a terrific athlete. It is why he was better than Andrew Luck in college.

[@fortyseven1476]

Deshaun Watson is better than Dak Prescott and I'm a Cowboys fan, This Man is going to be Special

[@Serbinator_Dominator]

I always say the most important talent you can have is being durable and be available to play, thats what separates great players from talented ones, Watson is big talent but already injured in non contact is big flag considering he loves to run a lot like Michael Vick or RG3 his NFL carrer will be short, considering this is 2nd torn ACL on same knee on watson and he is only 22, Dak is built like a Tank, longevity is the key

[@allsportseveryday4900]

rick fedorick because Dak had the best line in the league and a run first offense. Deshaun has played way better then Dak would have in this situation. Dallas also has a better recieving core, so what are you talking about?

He was indeed the best player in football, QBR, TDs, pick a stat, he lead the league in it.... Damn shame. He was on his way to destroy every rookie record, but he was also on his way to getting hurt behind that line. Imo, it was a accumulation of beatings he took this year. I have seen some awkward hits. Luck shows us how bad an OL can get ya beat, as did Cam.

[@serenawilliamslovesbigwhit5029]

Jo Jo He was now where near the best player, he’s another hype job. Brady leads the league yards, completions, and total offense. Wentz leads the league in TD’s while throwing 5 less Int’s than Watson. Alex Smith leads league in completion % while throwing 16 Td’s and zero Int’s.

[@royalace2271]

That touchdown run against the Bengals by Watson showed the kind of special poise and fearlessness by a young, 22 year old rookie QB. Right before that TD run, Watson was completely leveled by the 300 lb Geno Atkins. Most QBs in the NFL would be mentally shaken by it but Watson quickly recovered and on the next snap which happens to be a crucial 3rd & 15, rushed 49 yards for the TD Watson did not put up great numbers in that Bengals game but many people are forgetting that it was his 1st NFL start which happens to be on a short week. The Texans entered that game with no active Tight Ends and a short handed offense with horrendous Offensive Line. That game, Watson was instructed to run the ball and play as conservatively as possible because he didn't have much reps with the starters.

Hes going to be the GOAT im calling it now

[@keith6032]

nah... Mahomes is the Goat. Brady is the Goat. Watson is slightly better than average.

[@weready1448]

Keith nah Watson is the goat

[@AtillatheHun]

GOAT came out of his draft, just 2 spots before him

[@0-Elias-0]

He's got a lot of Favre in him.

[@dred9174]

Yeah haters don't know how many ints Favre threw its just he passed for so many TDs he made up for it.

[@LiquidChamploo]

My favorite rookie campaign man! Deshaun continued where he left off at college it was ridiculous!

[@bulkyspud1842]

I’m a bills fan who wanted him so bad. My friends said he is a clear bust. I watched him at Clemson. All I ever saw was a leader and a winner

[@batwayne708]

Alot of people thought he would be a bust. People said he had a weak arm. People said his college success won't carry on to his NFL career. After he won the National Championship, it only took a week for him to rest to prepare him for the combine. Texan are smart to realize he may have had a "weak arm" at the time, but he improved it before the season began. He's a smart QB that always wants to improve. He's a dedicated hard worker. He's a class act off the field. One of many Houston sports great role models.

Pats fan here, and this dude was on pace to win MVP as a rookie. That Seattle game was by far the most exciting regular season game in the last 5 years. Hope he bounces back, because that offense is going to be nasty and fun to watch.

[@hatred2k]

It was a good game..but not that good of a game lol

[@eatower2]

I mean, you can say that, but from a pure football fan perspective that game was amazing, and putting my home team bias aside, that game had me on the edge of my seat like no other.

[@xiiao6704]

You know when your favorite team has a awesome QB when he almost forced a OT against the patriots. On his third NFL game might I add.

[@williamcooper6274]

In New England and Kansas City they are sighing with relief. If The Texans could have had him against them in the playoffs he could have beaten them Right Now. The kid is special. You can just tell. No worries, setbacks are setups for greater things.

Damn I was enjoying watching him tear up my Seahawks defense he is something special.

[@royalace2271]

A lot of typical fans believe Watson is just another RGIII but their only similarities is that they are both black athletic QBs that torn their ACL in college and rookie season. But aside from that, they are completely different players. Robert Griffin III was a track star that had the elite speed and athleticism that made him so dangerous as a dual threat. Because of his speed, RGIII often looked to run first and it was tough for defenses to keep up with his speed. He also possessed a powerful cannon for an arm and made deep down field throws seemed effortless. RGIII was incredibly talented but his athleticism is what made him so special. Despite being an athletic QB with good speed, Deshaun Watson is not even close to the athlete that made RGIII so special. But Watson never relied as on his athleticism as much as RGIII had and despite being considered an athletic QB, Deshaun Watson has always been a pocket passer that can scrambled and run. Watson is a pass first QB, whereas RGIII is a run first QB. The biggest difference between these two is that RGIII doesn't really know what type of QB he wants to be. After his rookie season, he wanted to move away from play-action and become a pocket passer, which he is not. On the other hand, Watson knows who he is as a QB and is confident in his ability. Watson is also more comfortable as a pocket passer and his mobility in the pocket allows him more time to develop as a pocket passer. Watson's ACL injury during mid season will give him the time he need to recover and get ready for the next season. RGIII was injured in a playoff game and he didn't have much time to fully recover when he started week 1 in the next season. Also, RGIII's injury is much more serious because he tore his ACL & LCL. Overall, Both players are similar in many ways but also have many differences that sets them apart. Because of those differences, Watson is most likely would not end up like RGIII and will continue to succeed in the NFL when he returns.
