Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is back on the field after serving his 11-game-long suspension. Although Watson has earned the legal right to play on the field, many still believe he should not be in the league.
Recently, New England Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones liked a tweet in which a person was saying to send Watson to prison. NFL players haven't spoken much regarding the lawsuits that were filed against Watson, but this was a surprising move from the Patriots' DB.
Here's how social media reacted to Jonathan Jones liking the tweet:

It seems NFL fans on social media were siiding with Jonathan Jones and don't like the fact that Deshaun Watson is still playing in the league. Despite that, the Cleveland Browns quarterback will continue to play on the field unless criminal proceedings come against him in the future.
As per the settlement agreed between the NFL and the NFL Players Association, Watson was suspended for 11 games during the 2022 season. He was also fined $5 million for breaking the league's personal-conduct code.
Deshaun Watson is struggling to get his groove back
Watson did not play a single game in the NFL last season and was suspended for the first 11 games of the 2022 campaign. It was always going to be difficult for him to be his typical self after such a lengthy hiatus.
The Browns have been eliminated from playoff contention after their loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Watson struggled in the cold weather and was unable to lead his team to a win.
The Cleveland Browns paid a lot of money and gave away a ton of assets to the Houston Texans in order to get Deshaun Watson. As such, the expectations for him next season will be high. The Browns have a terrific roster, but wasting those players' prime years might set their franchise back.
Watson has a passer rating of 69.3 having thrown for 703 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in four games this season. These numbers don't signify the type of quarterback he is, and he needs to get back in form.
Watson himself would be determined to prove everyone wrong as they are doubting whether or not he will be the same player again.
