In a stunning move, Deshaun Watson has announced his return to Death Valley for the 2022 season.
After failing to win a Super Bowl with the Houston Texans, Watson has his sights set on a second National Championship at the collegiate level.
“I’m trying to, of course, be legendary,” Watson said.
Watson, who graduated in 2017, has decided to return for his final year of eligibility. He was drafted in the first round by the Houston Texans in 2017 and signed a four-year, $13.85 million contract. His contract was then extended until 2024 for $156 million.
Watson requested a trade from Houston in January 2021, and his wish was finally granted when his divorce from the Texans was finalized on March 18 after he was traded to the Cleveland Browns.
He reportedly signed a $230 million deal with the Browns, accompanied by a nearly $45 million signing bonus.

There must be something in these hills, however, that makes an unpaid return to the Lightsey apartments more tempting than a multi-million-dollar contract.
“Watson just isn’t cut out for pro ball,” said a member of Watson’s media team in a statement.
Amid continued struggles with his public image, Watson is upset with his reputation.
“He feels like the whole country is mad at him.”
Watson will be bringing his No. 4 jersey out of retirement to resume the position of quarterback.
Meanwhile, junior DJ Uiagalelei and freshman Cade Klubnik will be shifting to the offensive line amid backlash from the 2021 season regarding the group’s performance.
“I’ve always trusted him,” freshman Emily Davis said of Watson. “He would never do me wrong.”
Head coach Dabo Swinney has not yet commented on Watson’s return.
