Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns are searching for answers on offense, but the quarterback doesn't think additional designed runs for him is an idea head coach Kevin Stefanski should experiment with. "I'm not going in there to ask them for more designed runs. ...
if I don't have to run, I'm not going to run," Watson said on Wednesday, according to ESPN. "I'm not trying to take any hits. ...
I'm not a running quarterback, in a sense. I can make things happen, but I'm not trying to run. "I'm not a running back. It's not my specialty.
They signed me to throw the ball, make decisions and be a quarterback, not a runner." Referencing the season-ending shoulder injury that he underwent in November 2023, Watson said that suffering an injury on a run would be "a lose-lose situation" for him and Stefanski, the reigning NFL Coach of the Year.
