Bill O'Brien Praises Deshaun Watson's Accuracy, Challenges Scouts' Criticism

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien praised rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson and his accuracy Tuesday.

According to Tom Pelissero of USA Today, O'Brien insisted that scouts who questioned whether Watson was an accurate passer entering the draft were off-base:

"First of all, his accuracy I think is excellent. I don't know where that came from. I think sometimes there's so much time between the end of the college season and the actual draft that people start just making things up. That's just really my opinion. I mean, this kid can throw the ball. Throws a tight spiral. He's very accurate."
