When the Houston Texans traded up in the 2017 NFL draft to take former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson with the 12th overall pick, they officially handed the reins of the franchise over to the national champion.

Watson, who many hope will erase the memories of former Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler, was 1-2 as a starter entering Week 4 but showed tremendous promise in a close road loss to the Patriots last week.

Today, the rookie has had the best day of his pro career, doing something very few rookie QBs ever have.

Watson’s Texans beat the Titans 57-14.
