Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson recently said that he’s learning from other NFL quarterbacks about just how important certain aspects of play are.
According to Watson, he’s been watching video of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in order to learn just crucial it can be to keep plays alive, but Watson is also learning about how to shoulder having multiple play options available to him.
Speaking to the media after one of the Texans’ training camp sessions via Pro Football Talk, Watson said that he’s now able to retain more plays in his head, allowing the team to have more options and allowing him to continue mastering his craft.
“I can just have a lot more information on my plate, whenever I need it,” Watson said. “The past couple years, it was more calling the plays. Or they’d give me two plays, for different looks. Now I can have five, six different plays in my head, and make sure we get in the right one. Biggest focus is really just taking that leadership role as a quarterback, and mastering my craft with my knowledge of the offense, knowledge of the defense and being able to get us in the right plays.”
With Watson finally having a full and healthy offseason of NFL training camp, it’ll be huge for him to continue honing his skills and getting better.
If the Texans want to continue improving and compete in the AFC, Watson’s development will be the biggest thing to monitor, and if he can learn from other NFL greats, then all the better for them.
