Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has joined some elite company during the first half of Sunday's performance against the Cleveland Browns.

The young Texans quarterback was having a season for the ages during his rookie campaign, but an unfortunate torn ACL injury cut his season short. Last season Watson had 19 passing touchdowns, 1,699 yards, 269 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in the six games he started last season.

Watson was putting up MVP caliber numbers before suffering the injury in practice last season. The Texans' quarterback has come back strong this season, leading Houston to eight straight victories after a 0-3 start to the 2018 NFL campaign. The Texans have an incredible chance at making some noise during the postseason if they can continue to play at an elite level.

Watson has 2,807 yards, 20 touchdowns, and nine interceptions while adding 345 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. As long as Watson is on the field, his versatility and high IQ will keep the Texans in a solid position going forward. Watson is a nightmare for opposing defenses considering he can take off on the run at any time, leading defenses to account for a scramble at any given time.

The former Clemson Tigers quarterback has an extremely bright future ahead of him considering he has accompanied two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever take the field. Only time will tell what Watson will be able to accomplish down the road as he has played like a true veteran since his debut last season.
