"Glimpses of greatness." That's what people continually say they've seen from Deshaun Watson under center during his first two seasons with the Cleveland Browns.
Coming from the team's starting right guard Wyatt Teller though it carries a little more weight considering he works closely with him every day both out on the field and in team meeting rooms. In a recent appearance on the "Go Long Podcast" with Tyler Dunne, Teller took it a step further than just saying he's seem glimpses of Watson's greatness. The three-time Pro Bowler compared his game to one of the best quarterback's in football at the moment.
"I would love to say he has glimpses of Patty Mahomes," Teller began, "and Patty Mahomes is a once-in-a-lifetime guy. He's insane. He has great outlets, great receivers, he has a great defense, he has all these different things around him to make him better but he is the truth. I believe that Deshaun has that. I truly do."
There's no higher praise a quarterback can receive than being compared the well-decorated Chiefs QB. Over the last six years, Mahomes has won two league MVPs, three Super Bowls and three Super Bowl MVPs. Since Tom Brady officially retired after the 2022 season, Mahomes is the consensus best quarterback in football.
