Deshaun Watson shines in practice, draws praise from Pat McAfee
Summary

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson showcased a strong performance in training camp on August 6, completing 17 of 20 passes with seven touchdowns in a red-zone 7-on-7 session. ESPN's Pat McAfee reacted with a two-word comment, highlighting the significance of Watson's improved play after an uneven start to camp. Watson's previous training sessions included six interceptions, raising questions about his readiness following an injury-plagued previous season. Head coach Todd Monken continues to rotate Watson with teammate Shedeur Sanders, with the preseason games expected to further clarify the QB competition. The Browns plan to have each quarterback start in upcoming preseason matchups against the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills.
