Donovan Peoples-Jones: ‘Makes me excited’ that Deshaun Watson shows trust in him

“That really makes me feel good and makes me excited, too.”

Quarterback Deshaun Watson keeps looking toward wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones through the air for the Cleveland Browns. Even after dropping a crucial catch against the Washington Commanders, Watson turned right back to Peoples-Jones on the very next play to connect for a touchdown to put the Browns up 17-7 at the time.

Asked on Monday about what it meant for Watson to turn back to him, Peoples-Jones stated:

“Yesterday, it really instills confidence because I know that even like yesterday I had the drop, I really wanted that bad, and sometimes you don’t know if you will get the ball after that. To know that he’s coming right back to me the next play shows that he is not worried about that. That really makes me feel good and makes me excited, too.”
