Michael Lombardi believes Deshaun Watson will start as a rookie

As much as the Texans want to claim that Tom Savage is their starting quarterback heading into the 2017 NFL season, there’s no doubt in my mind that Deshaun Watson will start at some point this coming season.

It sounds like Mchael Lombardi of The Ringer agrees with me.

Lombardi was a guest on The Rich Eisen Show on Monday and was asked which rookie quarterback he believes has the best chance at starting this coming season.

“I would say it’s Deshaun Watson. Only because I think Deshaun Watson’s character, his personality can take over that team,” said Lombardi.
