Report: Deshaun Watson’s former QB coach joins Panthers staff

(Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports) Deshaun Watson

The Carolina Panthers have appointed a new quarterbacks’ coach, who has a previous connection with Houston Texans signal-caller Deshaun Watson.

As it so happens, the Carolina Panthers‘ new quarterback coach has a previous relationship with the hottest name in the NFL right now. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the organization appointed Sean Ryan as the man to replace Jake Peetz, who accepted the passing coordinator position with the LSU Tigers following a recommendation by Joe Brady.

Ryan’s ties to Watson will only fan the flames regarding a potential trade by the Carolina Panthers for the former first-round pick, who is becoming increasingly disillusion with Texans owner Cal McNair’s handling of team affairs and his lack of say regarding appointments this offseason.
