AFC South Q&A: Who is the rising star in the division?

Who is the AFC South's biggest rising star? Our roundtable reporters give their picks:

Sarah Barshop, Houston Texans reporter: Deshaun Watson. It's hard not to pick the Texans quarterback after seeing what he did in seven games (six starts) as a rookie. In 2017, Watson was tied for the NFL lead in passing touchdowns (19) before he tore his right ACL during practice; he also threw for 1,699 yards with eight interceptions. Watson was back on the field, throwing with his teammates and participating in seven-on-seven drills during the offseason, and he is expected to be ready for real in training camp.
