Kellen Mond (6’-3”, 212 pounds) is another signal-caller on the roster. He also has 14 rushes for 75 yards with zero scores. His NFL stats are two starts in three seasons, 50 completions on 85 attempts for 456 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. He was originally a fourth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017. Yet when Watson was activated, Dobbs was released. ![]() The most experienced is Josh Dobbs (6’-3”, 216 pounds) who was in training camp last year and was viewed as having an exciting and productive preseason as starter Jacoby Brissett’s backup for the first 11 games.

And with Watson under center and his abilities, everybody is counting on just that.īut here’s a question to ponder: what happens to this offense if Watson doesn’t return to his Pro Bowl former self? Anyone? So, it’s obvious this Browns offense is going into this season as a highly anticipated offensive threat each and every week. Plus, perennial Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb. The wide receiver room is bulging to the hilt with talent beginning with Pro Bowl veteran Amari Cooper, budding star Donovan Peoples-Jones, newly-acquired via a trade Elijah Moore, speedster Marquis Goodwin, last year’s decorated rookie David Bell, and also this year’s third-round draft pick Cedric Tillman. Tight end David Njoku had a decent year last season and is ready for a breakout season. Pro Football Focus rated the Browns’ offensive line as the league’s Number 1 unit. The jury remains out on Watson going forward, the fact that this offense is fully stocked and ready to rumble is a certainty. So, which Deshaun Watson will the Browns get in 2023? A better question That was his worst total since he started six games in his rookie year in Houston where he netted 269 yards and two TDs. Yet in his six games with the Browns, his total was 175 yards and a single score. With the Texans, he had rushed for 1,677 yards with 17 rushing touchdowns. As a sophomore at Clemson, he rushed for 1,105 yards with a dozen rushing touchdowns. The allure of Watson has always been his ability to gain yardage with his legs. His touchdown passes again were greater than his interception total, but that tally was just 7 to 5. A far cry from the 301.2 yards per game in his final year with Houston. In Watson’s six games, he threw for just 1,102 yards which calculates to just 183.6 yards per contest. Rust was only part of the problem for Watson with overthrown balls, short-armed tosses, and not nearly the same scrambler and runner that NFL fans had come to know of him. Most would say “B” would finish that answer. Would he be the Watson who collected Pro Bowl hardware? Or would he be full of rust and play inconsistently? There were questions about what kind of player he would be after not playing for almost two years. The thought process was what could Watson do for Cleveland and their superior offensive line, a good tight end group with one of the best running backs in the league?Īfter serving his 11-game suspension at the beginning of 2022, Watson played the final six games in place of Jacoby Brissett. So yes, the coaching staff and front office of the Browns were intrigued. Oh, and his completion percentage? 70.3% if you can believe it. With his TD-to-INT ratio always on the plus side, that year he threw 33 touchdowns with just seven picks. In his final year with the Houston Texans, he threw for 4,823 yards in one spectacular season. ![]() ![]() And a trophy case of individual awards.Īs a first-round NFL draft pick, Watson was selected to the Pro Bowl for three consecutive seasons. While there, Watson (6’-3”, 215 pounds) started 38 games, attempted 1,207 passes with 814 completions for 10,168 yards for a 67.4% completion ratio, tossed 41 touchdowns against just 17 interceptions, and ended his career in the State of South Carolina with a QB rating of 157.5. He came with extensive hardware having been a college football national champion while at Clemson University. Joyce Marshall/Fort Worth Star-Telegram/Tribune News Service via Getty Images
