Controversial NFL Star Deshaun Watson Takes Advantage of Off Season by Joining America’s Favorite Pastime in Cleveland

The NFL stars are enjoying a brief break before their hectic 2023 schedule begins in just a few months. This is the time to recharge the batteries and re-energize for the upcoming season. And Deshaun Watson knows exactly what to do with the time in hand. The controversial QB joined America’s favorite pastime in Cleveland to take full advantage of the ongoing offseason as he prepares to take the field for his first full season with the team he joined last offseason.

Watson couldn’t do much as the Cleveland Browns struggled in the 2022 season. He spent the first 11 games of the season out, suspended due to NFL personnel code violations. He would want to shed that image and take the team to the heights that the fans expect in the upcoming league season. But for now, he’s making use of the offseason time, by catching up on some other sports.

Deshaun Watson becomes spectator in off-season

Deshaun Watson came down to Progressive Field in Cleveland to catch some MLB action. He shared a photo of him watching the Cleveland Guardians in action on his Instagram story. Not the best game he could have chosen to enjoy his day though.

The Guardians took on the Colorado Rockies in the first game of a three-game series. But it couldn’t have started on a sorer note for the home team. The Rockies shut the Guardians out of the game and won it 6-0. And Watson might have left thinking that he could have used the time to do something else to recharge his batteries. The game surely would have had the opposite effect on him.

The Cleveland Browns QB has had his share of controversies and all he can do at the moment is look forward to the next season and deliver what is expected from him. He will have to shed the baggage of the past to move forward with a single goal in mind.

The path ahead for the QB

When Deshaun Watson arrived in Cleveland last year, he had a cloud of uncertainty around him. He was facing an investigation into his actions which later resulted in an 11-game suspension. But a year later, his place as the Browns QB1 is sealed. And the franchise would want results at par with the mammoth $230 million fully guaranteed contract he got.

Watson returned to the field last season after nearly two seasons off it. He marked his return with a game against his old team, the Houston Texans. But by then, it was already too late to revive any chances of making it to the playoffs. This season though, he will have the pressure to deliver for the franchise that took a big gamble on him.

Watson has indicated that he is ready for the challenge. But will he be able to deliver what the fans expect of him? The former first round pick has a lot to prove on the football field. Will he be able to bear the pressure? Do share your opinions in the comments.
