Browns QB Deshaun Watson said that he expects his and Amari Cooper’s connection to be ‘tight’ for the 2023 season, per Kevin Patra of NFL.com.
Watson played notably below average in his return to action last year, but should receive the benefit of the doubt heading into the new year with a full offseason program to integrate into the Browns system. Cooper, however, played his best ball with Jacoby Brissett, not Deshaun Watson, under center – while also putting up some peculiar home and away splits in 2022.
However, with Watson reportedly looking like a different player so far this offseason and Cooper and Watson going out of their way to build chemistry on and off the field, the upside both players present is very promising.
