Those in the national media are noticing what Houston Texans fans already knew, and that is that quarterback Deshaun Watson is one of the best quarterbacks in the entire NFL, and not just in the AFC South.
Ali Bhanpuri, Tom Blair, Gennaro Filice and Dan Parr, all of NFL.com, released their QB Index for Week 2, where they rank all 32 quarterbacks in the league. Entering the second week of the season, the quartet of NFL writers have Watson as the eighth-ranked quarterback in the league, with Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz ranked just ahead of him at seventh and Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons at ninth overall.
