The first time he ever met Deshaun Watson, Michael Perry was a football player at Gainesville High School in Gainesville, Georgia. He was helping with a summer football camp in his hometown and Deshaun joined his older brother Detrick, then 10, in camp.
“He would not say a word. He was the shyest kid ever,” Perry recalled when thinking back to that moment.
Perry and his twin brother knew Detrick pretty well because he was always full of energy and was not afraid to talk with anyone. Deshaun, who was five years old at the time, was quite the opposite.
