Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken told reporters on Monday that he still views quarterback Deshaun Watson as a young player who will continue to develop, following the team's 23-19 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
Monken made the comments during his Monday video conference, describing Watson's performance as one of his best since joining the Browns. The coach said Watson was the club's offensive player of the game.
Watson, who was traded to Cleveland in 2022, has faced scrutiny over his consistency since arriving. Monken's remarks suggest the coaching staff remains committed to his development.
The Browns' win over Tampa Bay improved their record and gave the team momentum heading into the next week of the season.
