It's been a long grueling process for the Houston Texans as they've been waiting for Deshaun Watson's multiple sexual assault allegations to clear up. The star quarterback didn't receive any criminal charges in his case, but will still likely serve a suspension due to the active civil charges still in place. Regardless, Watson reacts to the news.

According to Aaron Wilson, Deshaun Watson leaves an emotional message after having his name cleared of any criminal charges. The result of this issue is not shocking, as it's a situation that didn't have strong evidence to support the claims. Even so, the current Texans quarterback is ready for the next step in this process.

Watson also thanked everyone involved in helping him through the case, per Aaron Wilson. The Texans' quarterback likely had a great team of lawyers around him.
