The Cleveland Browns opened training camp this weekend at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, and Deshaun Watson was right in the middle of things after missing 11 games last season for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

Watson spoke out about being accused by more than two dozen women of sexual assault and sexual misconduct during massage sessions, according to ESPN's Jake Trotter.

“The whole situation changed me,” he said after a team practice on Sunday.

“In a situation where I just had to lock in on myself, channel and really know who I'm surrounding myself with and just really who's going to be there and support me even when I'm at my lowest point and the last few years were definitely my lowest point in my life. But that's part of life. I just grow from it, I learn from it. I continue to move forward and push forward and continue to show my real character, my real personality and who I am.”

The Browns are conducting their first eight training camp practices, as well as team-bonding opportunities at the Sports Performance Center at The Greenbrier. Watson addressed the team after a short walk-through on Saturday, reportedly “sharing personal details from his life.”

“I feel really well, feel really good, comfortable being around the guys, the locker room, the coaching staff, the organization and just the city of Cleveland,” he explained, per Trotter.

“So having an opportunity to go into the season with a full offseason, locked in, focused, it definitely feels good, and I want to continue to keep channeling and cherishing all that energy and positive energy that's been spread around this organization.”

Browns GM Andrew Berry praised Deshaun Watson on Sunday, over a year after trading for the QB from the Houston Texans in March of 2022. He praised his starter, saying the 27-year-old is “in a really good place.”

“I think this is going to be a big year for him, professionally and personally,” Berry said. “We think he's in great shape physically. He's been really good on the field. And I love what he's done off the field. So very excited about him.”

Cleveland will be hoping for a much better season after missing the postseason with a 7-10 record in 2022.
