"Everyone don't believe in me. Everyone don't think that I can get back to where I was. But I know, and I believe the work that I put in, that I believe in myself. The peace that I've been channeling these last couple months. I know, I'm gonna be way better than before."

Watson's poor play and injuries have led many Browns fans to write off the QB, who the Browns traded the farm for and signed to a record-breaking contract.
State of play: You can count the Browns organization among those who don't seem to think Watson can reclaim the Pro Bowl form he showcased with the Houston Texans in 2020.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam recently admitted the Watson trade was a "swing and miss."
Last week, Cleveland agreed to bring back veteran quarterback Joe Flacco on a one-year deal.
Flacco won Comeback Player of the Year with the Browns in 2023.
