The Houston Texans and the NFL as a whole received a major blow Thursday when standout rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending knee injury.
Watson had emerged as a star and was a leading contender to win Offensive Rookie of the Year and had even worked his way into the MVP discussion. The 22-year-old Clemson product tore his ACL and when news broke the NFL community showed their support on social media.
Damn @deshaunwatson this one hurt . You’ll be back better than ever young .
