The National Football League is going to be a worse place this season without Deshaun Watson in it. The electric rookie quarterback of the Houston Texans is out for the season after tearing his ACL in practice.
You likely know this, as the entire league sent out condolences to the kid and many fans are as heartbroken about the entire thing as the fan base. More bluntly put: People seem to really like both Deshaun Watson the player and the person. Everyone is feeling his pain.
Anyway, Watson has released his first public statement since being ruled out for the remainder of the season. Here they are:
“They say you never miss it until it’s gone and even though it’s not gone for long, I already miss it,” Watson wrote on Twitter. “Yesterday, I felt like I let my teammates, my fans and my family down. However, as a child of God, I understand that everything happens for a reason. He DON’T make mistakes!
“Today, the journey back seems far but I’ve been here before and will conquer it once again. I want to thank each and every one of my teammates for their unwavering support. My NFL brothers, thanks for all the prayers. To my fans, I cannot begin to express my gratitude for your relentless encouragement. To the countless others who have reach out, I am humbled and can only say thank you from the depths of my heart. I play this game for you all, and I am grateful for the love you have shown me, not only over the past 24 hours, but throughout this entire season.
“I promise that I will continue to work diligently so that this team can one day bring a championship to Houston, and when I return, I will be better, stronger and more focused than ever before! Now the grind begins. GODSPEED. A small thing to a GIANT.”
I imagine this makes him even more endearing to the general masses. Let's just hope he comes back healthy and fully returned to form. He has the chance to be incredibly special.
