Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson did not have a smooth transition to his new team, and it seems to be slowly becoming bothersome. Watson was taking part in the Browns’ practice session in a 7-on-7 drill and continues to show some rustiness as the new member of the Browns roster. During the session, in a regular NFL play, Watson threw an unnecessary interception toward safety John Johnson III to the dismay of fans online.
