3. The leadership aspect

Many won’t take this into account, but they absolutely should.

In a world full of egotistical and impatient athletes, Deshaun Watson has been the exact opposite. He continuously looks for opportunities to do things in the community.

When reporters ask him questions, he is polite and takes time to answer them fully. He doesn’t get angry and walk off the scene, instead he uses his platform to teach. That’s one reason he’s becoming such a favorite among the media.

In addition to the personal attributes that Watson possesses off the field, he is a great leader for the Texans in the locker room and on-the-field. His teammates respect him. They look to him for leadership, even though he’s just in his third season in the NFL.
