“I’m extremely excited to work with this offense, especially Deshaun and him being one of the top quarterbacks in this league, the opportunity to really go out there this season and help him prove that he really is that — a top quarterback in this league that can operate and help us win a bunch of football games. So, I’m super excited about that opportunity and really looking forward to this challenge.”

Watson had many sexual assault allegations from 20+ woman in 2021, which resulted in an 11-game suspension. His reputation was never the same.
NFL fans react to Ken Dorsey's praise of Deshaun Watson
After hearing Ken Dorsey praise Deshaun Watson, NFL fans on social media were disgusted with his word. Some think he praised Watson because he has to, while others strongly disagree with his take on Watson.
Here's how fans reacted to the recent comments:
Deshaun Watson needs to have a better season in 2024 for the Cleveland Browns
Regardless of his allegations, Deshaun Watson needs to have a good season in 2024.
The Browns gave up their first-round draft picks in 2022, 2023, and 2024 to acquire him. They also sent their third-round pick in 2023 and fourth-round picks in 2022 and 2024 to the Houston Texans in the trade. Cleveland gave up an arm and a leg for a guy who would possibly not see the field due to his ongoing allegations. They also gave him the biggest fully guaranteed contract in NFL history.
Watson was suspended for the first 11 games of the 2022 season due to his ongoing allegations. In the past two seasons, he's only played a total of 12 games, going 8-4 as the Browns' starting quarterback.
Watson has yet to appear for the Browns to the postseason in his first two seasons with the franchise.
