Deshaun WatsonQB
In Mike Sando's annual QB tiers article surveying 50 executives and coaches ranking 35 veteran quarterbacks, Deshaun Watson was ranked 31st overall and placed in the lowest tier. An offensive coach provided scathing evaluation: "I don't think he can come back. You do not all of a sudden get drive and desire and processing skills. He showed he had none of that with what he put on film. He's a 5 (lowest tier ranking) at this point." One voter's confidence in HC Todd Monken placed Watson in Tier 2, but the consensus is deeply skeptical of his ability to recover under the new offensive system.
