BEREA, Ohio -- Kevin Stefanski has studied so much past film of Deshaun Watson, he can name the Cleveland quarterback's high school mascot.
"The elephants," Stefanski says. "Maybe the Red Elephants?"
Eighteen months ago, Stefanski first met Watson, along with Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam and general manager Andrew Berry in the Houston law offices of Watson's attorney, Rusty Hardin. At that time, Watson -- who was facing 22 civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and inappropriate conduct during massage sessions -- was looking for a new team after demanding a trade from the Houston Texans and sitting out all of the 2021 season.
