Texans QB Deshaun Watson tweets he has ‘been trying to have some patience’

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson took to Twitter Tuesday to share his latest thoughts his usual subtle style.

Since the 2020 offseason, it has been customary for fans and media to pick apart Watson’s tweets, looking for clues as to how he is really feeling about current situations. The Tuesday post on social media is no different.

The 25-year-old, three-time Pro Bowler tweeted an image of himself sitting in the back of a minivan while in New York City. The caption on Watson’s tweet read, “I been trying to have some patience, I told my momma she should pray on it.”

While Watson did not specify the situation for which he needs patience, nor what his mother needs to pray about, it seems obvious the former 2017 first-round pick is referring to the Texans.

Since Jan. 5, when reports emerged the Texans would be hiring general manager Nick Caserio, a friend and colleague of Jack Easterby’s when they were with the New England Patriots, Watson has been disgruntled. It also doesn’t help that there are trade rumors galore, even though teams have not called nor have the Texans indicated they would be willing to move Watson.

Deann Watson has been a key part of Watson’s life and continues to be a significant source of inspiration in his career.

“I’ve been doing something that I love to do for so long, and to be able to see the rewards that come with it was her biggest thing, and to see the tears, she was just like, hey, don’t worry about us, we’re going to be fine, you go win the championship,” Watson said of his mother on Sept. 5, 2020, during his contract extension presser. “That literally was the first thing she said. Congratulations, but you’ve got a game to win Thursday [at Kansas City] and you’ve got a championship to go get, and then she started getting into all the other stuff.

“I mean, having that mother that understands my priorities and my goals in life, I mean, it’s amazing. It makes life a lot more easier, so it was awesome.”

Watson is seeking the counsel of his mother once more as the abnormal situation with the Texans continues to brew.
