After having a productive rookie season cut short by injury, Watson guided the Texans to consecutive division titles in 2018 and 2019 and led the league in passing yards in 2020. He also received Pro Bowl honors in each of his three seasons as Houston's primary starter. He is currently tenth in career completion percentage (minimum 1,500 attempts) and is sixth in all-time career passer rating.[1][2]
In 2021, Watson faced lawsuits from over two dozen female massage therapists accusing him of sexual harassment and sexual assault. Watson denied the allegations but settled 20 of the claims related to sexual misconduct. Disputes with the Texans' management, combined with the ongoing lawsuits, resulted in Watson being sidelined for the entire 2021 season. In 2022, he was traded to the Cleveland Browns, where he signed a five-year contract worth $230 million, one of the largest in NFL history.
