Deshaun Watson’s rise has been meteoric so far. In fact it rivals an NFL great. The Texans are crossing their fingers that that’s where the comparison ends

I know it’s an odd comparison but the way things are going I wonder if Deshaun Watson is going to become this generation’s Aaron Rodgers. There are a number of parallels starting to form, and it’s not really a compliment to either.

Watson and Rodgers were both famously passed over in their respective drafts with Watson lasting until pick 12 (ten spots after the Bears selected Mitchell Trubisky) and Rodgers lasting all the way down to the 24th spot.
