Texans' Deshaun Watson experiences learning curve in preseason loss
NEW ORLEANS -- Scanning the field on the fly, Texans rookie backup quarterback Deshaun Watson saw wide receiver Wendall Williams break open to his right.
It wasn't a terrible decision, but the accuracy wasn't there for the first-round draft pick from Clemson. Watson sailed the pass far too high.
The misfire became the first NFL interception for the former Heisman Trophy finalist and consensus All-American as New Orleans Saints cornerback Damian Swann picked him off.
Watson experienced a difficult learning curve during a generally rough outing against the Saints in a 13-0 shutout loss Saturday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
