Former Clemson QB Deshaun Watson may not feel welcomed in Tuscaloosa after his widely publicized incident at the Innis Free pub, but he received some public support from Alabama RB Damien Harris.
Harris called out the Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs for drafting quarterbacks Mitchell Trubisky (No. 2) and Patrick Mahomes (No. 10) before Watson.
The fact that 2 QBs have been drafted over Deshaun Watson is absolutely unreal..

Not long after Harris’ tweet, the Houston Texans traded up from No. 25 to pick Watson at No. 12, a pick originally held by the Cleveland Browns.
Harris tweeted again shortly after Watson was taken off the board.
Now, let's move on from that

Watson was notably selected before any of his familiar foes from Alabama, which also bothered Harris.
Somebody please help me understand how not one player from The University of Alabama has been drafted yet. This is just disrespectful.
