Trying to read the NFL tea leaves and predict the future of hot college prospects is one of the single most drama-filled endeavors surrounding the NFL. From guys like JaMarcus Russell and Vernon Gholston to Arian Foster and Shannon Sharp, the hype machine is only consistent in the simple fact that it’s often wildly wrong.
When it comes to laying out the future of new Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, the predictions are fairly polarized. Directly after the pick, the folks on NFL Network compared him to Steve Young. Meanwhile, other’s insist he’s got bust written all over him.
