Deshaun Watson visits with Browns fans before preseason finale
What a difference five days make.
Deshaun Watson made an unexpected visit to Browns fans on Thursday night, before the team's preseason finale. The visit came after Watson faced a wave of boos during a preseason appearance on Saturday. Despite the initial negative reaction, Watson was seen signing autographs and posing for selfies with fans, indicating a shift in the relationship between the quarterback and the Browns faithful.
However, the visit was not universally welcomed, with some fans expressing their disapproval of Watson's actions. Watson later apologized for his comments made on Saturday. The team's performance in the upcoming preseason games against Jacksonville and Tampa Bay could potentially change the minds of some fans, as Watson aims to lead the team to victories in these games.
Despite this, if the Browns start their regular season with an 0-2 record at home against the Panthers in Week 3, it might negatively impact the team's fanbase. The team is hopeful that Watson's leadership will help them achieve a franchise-record 2-0 start since 1993, potentially turning around their fortunes and winning back the favor of the paying customers who may have previously booed Watson.
