Watson’s latest comments show that he’s learned nothing.
Deshaun Watson doesn’t get it, and he has absolutely no desire of getting it. That’s the takeaway from the quarterback’s first interview upon arriving at Browns training camp.

Human beings like shiny, new things. Whether it’s a kid getting a brand-new toy on Christmas morning or buying a new car with all the bells and whistles, we want the latest in everything.
