Deshaun Watson takes a seat next to Patrick Mahomes on Chiefs bench (Video)
Deshaun Watson took a seat right next to Patrick Mahomes following a run.
The 2020 NFL season is underway and fans get to see two young stars in Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes square off. Both young men have plenty of reasons to celebrate aside from just getting back on the field as they each got paid this offseason.
Mahomes got his mind-blowing contract that could be worth over $500 million, while Watson just got an extension paying him up over $150 million. Both quarterbacks are more than set for life and can now forget about contracts and just focus on the games.
Watson decided to provide fans with a great moment Thursday night when he went onto the Chiefs sideline following a play and took a seat next to the man who helped drive the price up in the quarterback market.

Deshaun Watson takes a breather
This also shows the great personalities from both quarterbacks. There are some players who may take offense to a player from the other team sitting next to them. But Mahomes and Watson have proven to be fun individuals who genuinely seem to love the game without needing to act like fun is the enemy. That is just great for the game in general.
The Houston Texans took an early 7-0 lead, only for Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to quickly answer. They are not just setting the tone for the season, but also for the rest of the quarterbacks in the league.

Mahomes and Watson were taken two picks apart from each other in the 2017 NFL Draft. Fast forward to today and they have record contracts and one has a Super Bowl ring. Now the fun will be seeing how far both can rise as their careers progress. Just don’t expect a casual bench greeting if they meet up once again in the postseason.
