9. Deshaun Watson Reads a Letter From His Mother

Quarterback Deshaun Watson was given a letter by his mother after he was selected by the Houston Texans as the 12th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. It was a night of waiting for Watson as he saw two other quarterbacks drafted ahead of him despite winning the National Championship over the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The senior quarterback took a lot of criticism from scouts for his play despite overcoming so much adversity. After all, its not often you see a quarterback play in back-to-back National Championship games and get their moment of redemption the way Watson did.

After receiving his jersey and hat and shaking the commisioner’s hand. Watson was surprised by a letter from his mother that he read and it really got the water works going. Watson choked up by the end of the letter which was a heartfelt moment for him.

I’m not crying, you’re crying!
