One of the quieter quarterback moves this offseason came when Jameis Winston left the New Orleans Saints for the Cleveland Browns on a one-year deal.
He has gotten to sit behind some veteran quarterbacks over the years.
Those signal-callers include Drew Brees and Derek Carr.
Now, he will get to sit behind another star quarterback in Deshaun Watson.
Winston revealed to the Cleveland media what he has learned so far from Watson.
“I’ve seen intentional leadership of him taking mental reps like he is one of the best quarterbacks in this league…I haven’t seen anything of lack. I’ve just seen him just continue to grow, continue to lead these guys,” Winston said.

Despite Winston being older and a more experienced NFL player, Watson, being the starter, has clearly shown his leadership qualities so far this offseason.
Having Winston in the building will help too because experience never hurts a roster.
For Watson, he will look to regain his Pro Bowl form that he had with the Texans early on in his career.
While with Houston before off-the-field issues and injuries, Watson was one of the elite quarterbacks in football.
The former national champion at Clemson will look to take the Browns further into the playoffs this year while also staying healthy.
He has great pieces all over the offense to work with, including five-time Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper, Pro Bowl tight end David Njoku, former first-round wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, and All-Pro running back Nick Chubb.
Look for a healthier, much improved year for Watson.
