Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders Slam Browns Fans in Video After Veteran QB Booed in Preseason Game
Bleacher Report • • general
Key Points:
- Deshaun Watson expressed feeling disrespected by Cleveland Browns fans who booed him during a preseason game, noting that the negativity was personal and not related to his on-field performance.
- Watson recalled that fans had cheered when he suffered an Achilles injury on the same field, which contributed to his perception of the fanbase's hostility.
- Despite efforts to reconnect with the community and demonstrate commitment through charity work and presence in the city, Watson feels he has not won over the fans.
- Backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders, also competing for the starting role, condemned the boos as disrespectful and emphasized the need for mutual respect among players regardless of competition.
- Browns coach Todd Monken acknowledged the boos but stressed that improved quarterback play would lead to better crowd reactions, and the team has yet to decide whether Watson or Sanders will start the regular season opener.
