A Close Look At Deshaun Watson’s Fit With The Chicago Bears

-

Deshaun Watson

  • Age: 21
  • Height: 6’2″
  • Weight: 209 lbs
  • School: Clemson
  • Year: Junior

Arm Strength:  B

Watson has an arm that would be classified under the category of “good but not great.” That’s to say he can put a little zip on it and take shots down the field in the right situations. At the same time he’s not going to fit the ball into tight windows through several defenders and won’t be able to fire 60-70 yard bombs through the air. This play reflects the most of what he can do.

See that’s not bad at all. When given a clean pocket Watson can easily get it 50 yards through the air. That may not be peak, rifle arm territory but it’s enough to keep most of the playbook open. Put him under pressure though and that’s when his ability outdistance the top of the secondary really shows up.
