A biography for Deshaun Watsonhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm human. I make mistakes.”
“I grew up with pretty much nothing - in the hood, the ghetto - whatever you want to call it.”
“My mom is my rock, and I'm blessed to have her as my mother. I can talk to her whenever I need to or want to. She supports me through thick and thin, and I'll always be there for her.”
“I only get to experience this college football once. I want to live it up while I can.”
“I don't like sitting around and not doing anything because that's the easiest way to get complacent and get lazy.”
“I really don't care what people think about my game as long as I'm getting the Ws.”
“I never forget where I come from. It means everything.”
“I think about my mom and the things she went through, and things could always be a lot worse.”
“I'm not Jadeveon Clowney; I'm Deshaun Watson, so I just focus on me and what I can do for my team. I stay in my own lane and do what I've got to do.”
“I have some muscle on me where I can take those hits.”
“I grew up an Urban Meyer fan. I loved the way he coached, loved the way he did things.”
“If they want me to run the ball, I'll run it.”
“I love the work, love the grind. I love what I have to go through to get what I want.”
“I'm not afraid of who I am.”
“It's good to be able to run and have a balanced offense. They've got to be worried about both things. They can't just focus on the run game or the passing game and have us locked down that way. So when you have balance, good things are going to happen on offense.”
“My high school coach was a big Clemson fan, and I told him, 'As long as I'm the starting quarterback here, I'm not going to lose to South Carolina.'”
“When we get in the red zone, we have the mentality that we're trying to get points. We're not satisfied with three points. We're trying to get touchdowns each time we get in there.”
“As a rookie, I worked with my agent and the training staff to figure out what diet works for my body naturally.”
“People have assumed that I have to run the ball before I can throw it most all of my career, all the way back before high school. It's a stereotype put on me for a long time because I'm African-American, and I'm a dual-threat quarterback.”
“It's just something I always dreamed about when I was little. I always thinking about playing in an All-American game, and the Under Armour All-America Game was the one game I always wanted to play in, so once I got the opportunity and invite, I chose it.”
