Deshaun Watson forgets the Browns, flaunts expensive car and lifestyle on his birthday
The much-maligned Cleveland Browns quarterback is taking a glass half full approach after a rough Week 1.
Deshaun Watson would probably tell you to look at the final stat line, but anyone who watched the Cleveland Browns game in Week 1 could clearly see he looked like a shell of his former self, once again.
Watson couldn't sustain drives, looked lost inside and outside the pocket, and simply didn't look like a starting NFL quarterback. The day after the game, Watson celebrated his 31st birthday . In an effort to completely put the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the rearview mirror, Watson flaunted his lavish lifestyle on Instagram; particularly, his Ferrari 812 Superfast sports car, which retails for up to $425,000 .

Watson shared several pictures of his birthday festivities, which included plenty with his wife, Jilly Anais . The quarterback posted a lengthy caption with a subtle nod to his haters.
Through every high, every low, every challenge, every blessing; I’m Still here. Still standing. Still smiling. Still breathing. Still blessed. I’ve learned that peace doesn’t come from the noise around you; it comes from knowing who walks with you through it all. Today, I’m not counting the battles; I’m counting the blessings. Another year of life. Another year of growth. Another year surrounded by family and friends. 9/14!
Given that Watson signed a $230 million fully guaranteed contract with the Browns in 2022, he could have splurged even more on his car, but the Ferrari will certainly do.
Despite a brutal Week 1 and the potential of a benching growing, Watson is staying as grounded as possible and trying to enjoy what life has to offer.
