Deshaun Watson displaying connection with new WR during OTAs

By Aaron Becker | Last updated 6/1/23

The Browns brought in several new weapons for QB Deshaun Watson this offseason, but he has been displaying a special connection with maybe the most unlikely of the bunch.

Watson and veteran WR Marquise Goodwin, who signed a one-year deal with Cleveland, have caught the attention of those in attendance during the team's OTAs connecting on multiple occasions.

Goodwin joins the Browns for his 10th season after spending 2022 with the Seahawks where he posted 27 catches for 387 yards and four touchdowns.

The 32-year-old certainly has an uphill battle to be a starter in Cleveland this season as the team traded for WR Elijah Moore and drafted WR Cedric Tillman this offseason as well.

However, if he continues to make splash plays this summer, the Browns will have to keep him on the field.

Plus, Goodwin has always had a little extra motivation during his NFL career.

"I have a sister who's never walked a day in her life. She was born with cerebral palsy," Goodwin told reporters. "That's my motivation. I would be doing her a disservice if I were to not go and maximize in my sport ability."

Goodwin clearly has the talent and motivation to continue his already successful career in 2023 and this is likely just a sneak peek of what's to come this year.
