According to Deshaun Watson, one of several prayers were finally answered on Saturday morning after the Houston Texans agreed to a four-year, $160 million contract extension.
However, some of the biggest names in the NFL sounded off in regards to Watson’s salary announcement. But congratulations came from Russell Wilson, Michael Thomas, teammates J.J. Watt and Kenny Stills.
After the Texans signed its quarterback to a four-year, record-setting contract extension on Saturday, the second question of Deshaun Watson’s news conference came from Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney.
Houston Astros Justin Verlander asked the third question.
When offensive coordinator Michael Perry of Gainvilles High School in Atlanta, Georgia called, Watson tears began to fall. As the two talked about the past—Watson’s future—Watson had flashbacks of growing up. Thinking one day he might have a shot at making it to the big leagues. Though the big one has escaped Watson in his short stint in the NFL, his prayers have been answered in the agreement of a whopping contract extension. It’s not only deserving but it also allows him to take care of his family.
“It’s awesome.”, said Watson.
