Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is always looking for the edge and, more importantly, trying to refine his game. From the physical aspect to the mental approach, Watson is still working to find answers.

Watson has leaned on a familiar face in the Houston sports scene, Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander.

In Ty Dunne's piece on Watson in Bleacher Report, Watson conveyed to Dunne that he and Verlander meet often have dinner and talk about the mental approach to the game.

Watson has been picking the brain of the Hall of Fame-bound, Verlander. On how Verlander prepares for games and even sits with him during film sessions to get into his mental approach on how he attacks hitters during at-bats.

Also, Watson dives into how Verlander handles the ups and downs of games mentally, so Watson himself can use those tools when he plays quarterback for the Texans on the field.

It is always interesting to see how professional players develop their game, and it is good to see Watson leaning on one of the best Astros pitchers of all-time in Verlander.
