Deshaun Watson put toger an MVP-caliber 2020, throwing for 4,823 yards and 33 touchdowns against seven interceptions in what was a lacklustre season for franchise. Texans finished season just 4-12 with one of worst defences in NFL. 25-year-old still survived and earned his third consecutive Pro-Bowl selection, and was a rare bright spot during a disappointing 2020 campaign. quarterback has a -tre clause in his five-year, $156 million deal with Texans, which would give Watson some control over where he is tred.
