Deshaun Watson's cringe-worthy NFL Top 100 video draws heavy reaction
Given Deshaun Watson’s off-the-field issues around sexual assault and harassment, the video for his presentation on the NFL Top 100 was expected to be unusual. But a slew of fans called it plain awkward.
“Nobody knows when Deshaun Watson will take the field again. His future is uncertain, but his talent is unquestioned,” the narrator starts as the former Clemson QB was ranked No. 18 on the list, though his future with the Houston Texans is very much in doubt.
In their lawsuits, the 22 women accuse Watson of exposing himself, touching them with his penis or kissing them against their will during massage appointments, the Associated Press reported An attorney for the women, Tony Buzbee, told The Associated Press that the FBI “reached out to me, and I responded in the latest development of the ongoing story, which includes multiple investigations, but the FBI’s involvement is the latest development.
Here’s a sampling of the reaction from fans:
“Nobody knows when (PLAYER) will take the field again, his future is uncertain,” is how most of these videos start, right? pic.twitter.com/tOTDqQzyxJ

This commentary really made Deshaun Watson seem like this super mysterious character in a show or some really cool guy with crazy football talent only talked about in legends or something. https://t.co/SW84sOr9kO

The Deshaun Watson NFL Top 100 clip is so gloomy and awkward. Video lasts just one minute and 20 seconds, they had no players talk about him, and they started off with: “Nobody knows when Deshaun Watson will take the field again. His future is uncertain.” pic.twitter.com/S0OGD4ADjz

Deshaun Watson #18 in the Top 100 but he won’t even be on the field for 18 seconds this season
