DESHAUN WATSON

For his heart and generosity. Somebody schooled the Texans quarterback on more than reading defenses and calling audibles. Maybe it was former NFLer Warrick Dunn, whose foundation, through Habitat for Humanity, built Watson’s family a home when he was growing up. The rookie from Clemson might have had that fond memory in mind when he dug deep this week and earmarked his first NFL paycheck for team cafeteria workers whose lives were devastated by Hurricane Harvey. For this alone we would make him the Rookie of the Year right now.
