Deshaun Watson has had his set of controversies off the field, but he has always been a man of the people. Watson has had a relatively uneventful offseason so far, especially when it comes to his divisive nature. As he prepares to take hold of the league in his upcoming season with the Cleveland Browns, Watson took to the streets to show some love to his fans. 

For starters, who doesn’t love ice cream? Watson embraced a new endeavor as he transformed into an ice cream seller to give back to the community. Through his selfless actions, Watson has once again proven that he is not only a talented athlete but also a compassionate one, looking to give back to the people behind his success whenever he can.

In his post, Watson stood inside an ice cream truck while he was herded by his young fans who were buying ice creams from the truck.

Watson has always been a man of the people

Just last year, the Browns acquired Watson in a blockbuster trade, marking the end of his tumultuous period with the Texans. While there was backlash surrounding the trade, fans have been waiting to see the true extent of the supercharged Browns offense with Watson at the helm. But even during his days with the Texans, Watson made several donations to charity to help uplift communities in need.

Watson has always had a bond with kids, and during a charity spree back in 2020, the QB raised over $100k within a week. He even went on to donate $175k in tech devices prior to the start of the 2020-21 NFL season. He will look to bring the same energy with him to Cleveland, as he will finally get back to full health at the beginning of the upcoming season.
