Deshaun Watson returned to the NFL this season after sitting out the 2021 season. The controversial Cleveland Browns quarterback was absent from social media for the most part during his hiatus. However, that all changed when Watson recently posted his first TikTok with the caption "When you know 2023 bout to be a MOVIE!"
NFL fans quickly took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the Gainesville, Georgia, native and his first TikTok.
Deshaun Watson was suspended for the first 11 games of the 2022 season and fined $5 million for breaching the NFL's personal-conduct policy per the language of a resolution reached between the league and the NFL Players Association. The settlement covered four cases that disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson ruled on in deciding Watson's original ruling, which was six games.
The quarterback was accused of sexual misconduct and other inappropriate behavior throughout massage therapy sessions in lawsuits filed by over two dozen women. The actions claimed in the lawsuits happened between March 2020 and March 2021 while he played for the Houston Texans.
Following news of his suspension, Deshaun Watson released a statement that included an apology and taking accountability for his actions:
"I'm grateful that the disciplinary process has ended and extremely appreciative of the tremendous support I have received throughout my short time with the Browns organization. I apologize once again for any pain this situation has caused. I take accountability for the decisions I made."
When the Browns quarterback made his return this season, there was a reminder in the crowd of his allegations.
Multiple Deshaun Watson accusers showed up to his first NFL games as a Cleveland Brown
The former Clemson Tigers star made his first NFL start in nearly two years against the Texans in front of 10 women who accused him of sexual misconduct. Tony Buzbee, the attorney for the 10 women, attended the Week 13 regular-season matchup.
Deshaun Watson threw for 131 yards and an interception in the Browns' 27-14 victory over the Houston Texans.
We'll see if the accusations will still follow the former first-round pick. He signed a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract following his trade from the Texans to the Browns last March.
