Deshaun Watson has shared some insight into his preparation for the Cleveland Browns’ summer training camp.
Watson’s hype video showed him working hard on and off the field, while revealing his mindset heading into the new season.
The quarterback has played only 19 games over his four years in Cleveland and is running out of time to turn things around.
However, Watson appears ready to compete with Shedeur Sanders for the starting QB role on Todd Monken’s team.
Here is everything Watson said in the two-minute clip that suggests the 2026-27 season could be his best with the Browns.
Deshaun Watson sends message with latest training video
Deshaun Watson is against the clock in Cleveland, as he enters the final season of his five-year, $230 million deal.
Watson also faces competition from Shedeur Sanders, the 24-year-old who showed encouraging signs in his rookie season.
But the former Houston Texan is confident he will finally show what he can do with the Browns after an ideal offseason.
“I’m in a good space. I’m in a great place,” Watson said. “This is year five, so this is that time. Just like everybody else, I’ve been waiting too.
“Things have got to line up right. I feel like this is the year that it can all come together.”
He continued: “I’m stacking the days, getting the body and movement right to make sure that I’m at my peak going into training camp.
“I’m getting ready for the season with my body, mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
“Everything is in the right space, and I’m just constantly building every day, so I’m locked in already. I’m ready for sure.”
If Watson can return to his previous best, there will be no competition for the starting quarterback position in Cleveland.
However, it has been six years since he last made the Pro Bowl, so it would be a tall order to recapture that form now.
