Deshaun Watson Facts

At Gainesville High School, Deshaun had earned a place in the starting lineup of their Red Elephants football team, in his freshman year itself. The team’s coach, Bruce Miller, had initially wanted to use a junior year student in the critical quarterback position but Deshaun’s skills had impressed him so much that Deshaun became the first freshman to have played as a quarterback in any of Miller’s teams. In his senior year, 2013, he was named a USA Today ‘High School All-American’.

For his performances at Clemson University (2014-2016), he had won several accolades including the ‘Davey O’Brien Award’ (2015, 2016), the ‘Manning Award’ (2015, 2016), the ‘ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) Athlete of the Year’ award (2016, 2017), the ‘Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award’ (2016), the ‘ACC Player of the Year’ award (2015), and the ‘Best Male College Athlete ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) Award’ (2017). He was also the runner-up for the prestigious ‘Heisman Trophy’ in 2016.

In 2017, he had donated an amount of approximately USD 27k, from his first NFL cheque to 3 cafeteria employees who used to work at the Houston Texans‘ NRG Stadium and who had been severely impacted by Hurricane Harvey.

As of January 2021, he was just 1 among 4 quarterbacks in the history of the NFL to have attained a career passer rating over 100. He was also the passing yards leader in the 2020 NFL season.
