Texans rookie Deshaun Watson's play reminds DeAndre Hopkins of Michael Vick

The dual-threat capabilities of Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson have drawn plenty of comparisons to former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick.

Watson is establishing his style as a mobile quarterback who can improvise and throw on the run, making an immediate impact on the Texans' offense.

"I saw him do it in college, but this is the NFL," said Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins of Watson, a fellow Clemson football alum. "So, of course I'm impressed. I haven't seen a quarterback do that in a long time besides Michael Vick. Of course, everybody in this locker room is impressed.
