A rather interesting report has emerged out of Cleveland involving the Browns' two most interesting quarterbacks: Rookie Shedeur Sanders and injured Pro Bowler Deshaun Watson.

According to Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot, while he's been recovering from his Achilles injury, Watson is reportedly supporting the other four quarterbacks on the team. But he's apparently taken extra interest in Sanders has is reportedly taking him "under his wing."
'Watson has been an awesome teammate inside the quarterback room and meeting rooms, and has been a great cheerleader for the four quarterbacks vying for the starting job...' Cabot reported earlier this week. "He's been especially helpful to the rookies in Gabriel and Sanders, who are working overtime to remain in the starting mix.'
But given the problems that Watson has had over the past few years, both on the field and off the field, NFL fans aren't exactly thrilled about him being a mentor to Sanders.

Seemingly everyone is saying the same thing in different ways: It's a bad idea.
"This will be the first part of my 'How it started'/'How it's going' post. Shouldn't need to wait too long for the second part," one user wrote.
"This is like when Ralphie started giving Jackie Jr advice," another wrote, referencing The Sopranos.
"This is laugh out loud funny," wrote a third.
"Why does this feel like the plot of Training Day?"
"The pain of being a Browns fan never freaking ends..."
"So when Shedeur begins to visit dozens of massage therapists, he's have them sign an NDA up front."

"He's showing him the best massage parlors in the Land."
"Oh gosh please .... I hope he wont corrupt Shedeur."
LAS VEGAS, NV - SEPTEMBER 29: Quarterback Deshaun Watson #4 of the Cleveland Browns stands on the field prior to an NFL football game against the Las Vegas Raiders, at Allegiant Stadium on September 29, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by)Deshaun Watson's off-the-field issues are well-documented. He will pretty much forever be known for the allegations involving dozens of massage therapists that accused him of assault during his time with the Houston Texans.
To make maters worse, Watson hasn't play at the same Pro Bowl level with the Browns since joining them in that blockbuster trade several years ago. In three seasons with the team he's played in just 19 games despite playing on a full guaranteed contract.

That's not to say that Shedeur Sanders can't become a better player learning from the three-time Pro Bowler, but there are risks too.
