Former Clemson football quarterback Deshaun Watson has officially been named the starter for the Houston Texans.
Watson will start his first game on Thursday, when the Texans take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
What makes it that much sweeter?
Thursday will be Watson’s 22nd birthday.
That’s right, Clemson football fans.
Deshaun Watson will be celebrating his 22nd birthday with his first career NFL start on Thursday. Not a bad way to spend the day.
#Texans coach Bill O'Brien didn't announce his starting QB, but there is decision. Rookie Deshaun Watson will start, per @JamesPalmerTV & me

All of this came about after starting QB Tom Savage was unable to lead the Texans to one score in the first half against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday.
