Deshaun Watson was almost drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs

There was a good chance that Houston Texans’ quarterback Deshaun Watson could have ended up with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Watson says that the Chiefs were really interested in him prior to this year’s NFL Draft.

From the Kansas City Star.

“They were high on me,” Watson said. “I took a visit there; it was a great visit. I kept an open mind throughout the draft process.”

Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid praised Watson.

“He’s a great player,” Reid said. “What he did at Clemson is what we thought is what he would do here… He was a real pleasure to deal with before the draft.
