Cleveland Browns stars Deshaun Watson and Jerry Jeudy are working out together to build early chemistry.
Deshaun Watson and Jerry Jeudy have been getting a jump on the Cleveland Browns' offseason program by working out together in South Florida.
Jeudy posted a photo on his Instagram story on Wednesday of him and Watson before their workout. The Browns' offseason program kicks off at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus next week.
Watson, who did not play in 2025 as he rehabbed an Achilles tear from the 2024 season, will compete with Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel for the Browns' starting spot next season. Suspension and injuries have limited Watson to 19 games since he arrived in Cleveland.
Since making his Browns debut, Watson has posted a 33.1 Total QBR, which would be the lowest among qualified passers.
A Clemson product, Watson has 3,365 passing yards and 19 passing touchdowns with Cleveland. He's thrown 12 interceptions.
Watson has 17,904 passing yards and 123 passing touchdowns in the NFL with the Houston Texans and Browns. He was the 12th overall pick in the 2017 draft.
"Anytime that you have a player that at one time has exhibited the skill set at an elite level," first-year Browns coach Todd Monken said of Watson. "I think you're always going to give them the benefit of the doubt that somehow we might be able to get that out of him again, and I think that's how you should look at every player."
Jeudy, who made the Pro Bowl in 2024, put up 50 catches for 602 yards and two touchdowns last season. He never got on the same page with Joe Flacco, Gabriel or Sanders.
Jeudy has played for the Denver Broncos and Browns. He enters next season with 4,884 receiving yards and 17 receiving touchdowns.
Cleveland went 5-12 last season. Monken replaces Kevin Stefanski, who was fired and joined the Atlanta Falcons as their new HC.
The Browns have the sixth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. It will be fascinating to see who they select.
