Bill O'Brien: Deshaun Watson has grown, but Tom Savage still No. 1 QB

HOUSTON -- Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is aware of the challenges of starting in the NFL as a rookie, but the former Clemson star said he feels he is progressing in the offense every day.

“It takes experience and each day is an opportunity for me to improve on that, get comfortable in the position and just continue to learn,” Watson said.

Coach Bill O’Brien, who does not routinely praise rookies, said he thinks “there’s a lot of things [Watson] does well,” including the throws he has made and the way he has commanded the offense, “relative to [his] experience” in the Texans’ system.
