As we travel from the infancy of July to the end of it, when NFL training camps are supposed to open up, ESPN reached out to league executives to rank players at a variety of positions across the NFL. Today they started off with the quarterback position, where they had Deshaun Watson ranked fourth:
4. Deshaun Watson, Houston Texans
Age: 24 | Highest ranking: 3 | Lowest ranking: 11
Watson was engaged in a tight race with Drew Brees for much of the voting, but he was consistently in the top six because of his toughness and the dynamic plays he creates.
