Ken Dorsey is ready to get to work with Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson and has high hopes for his star passer.<\/p>\n

\"Browns<\/p>\n

Dorsey was officially introduced by the Browns on Monday as their\u00a0new offensive coordinator. A large part of his press conference focused on Watson and how he plans to utilize the team\u2019s\u00a0$230 million quarterback.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m extremely excited to work with this offense, especially Deshaun (Watson) and him being one of the top quarterbacks in this league,\u201d\u00a0Dorsey said on Monday, February 5. \u201cThe opportunity to really go out there this season and help him prove that he really is a top quarterback in this league that can operate and help us win a bunch of football games.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Browns sent three first-round picks to the\u00a0Houston Texans to land Watson in 2022 via a blockbuster trade. They also handed him a massive guaranteed contract after the move.<\/p>\n

So far, the trade hasn\u2019t played out as the Browns had hoped. Watson has appeared in just 12 games due to a length suspension and injuries. He\u2019s had some great moments but his play has been mostly uneven. Watson has gone\u00a08-4 in his starts, passing for 2,217 yards, 14 touchdowns and 9 interceptions.<\/p>\n

What has Dorsey excited is that the sentiment in the building is that Watson wants to be coached and pushed to take his game to the next level.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything I\u2019ve been told from Kevin and the guys here, he wants to be coached. He wants to be pushed and driven. And I think I\u2019ll be able to pick up where the staff has left off on that,\u201d Dorsey said. \u201cOur job in the quarterback room is to go out, score points and help us win football games, whether it\u2019s one point or 20 points or whatever. And I think when you got a guy like him, he\u2019s going to help you do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The main hurdle for the Browns will be\u00a0keeping Watson healthy. Last season he missed time with two separate shoulder injuries. The second\u00a0ended his season\u00a0in mid-November. Watson\u00a0had surgery shortly after it was announced but is expected to be ready to roll for training camp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Part of the reason Dorsey was hired was due to his past success with quarterbacks. The most notable among those are former\u00a0Carolina Panthers\u00a0MVP Cam Newton and\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0star\u00a0Josh Allen. The Browns are hoping he can help Watson regain the Pro Bowl form he showed in Houston.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople looked and saw Cam and Josh and said, \u2018Oh, they\u2019re the same.\u2019 They are very unique and different players in a lot of ways. So, every one of these guys is so unique,\u201d Dorsey said. \u201cWatching Deshaun, he clearly has a great feel for a lot of different aspects of football. \u2026 I think that\u2019s the exciting part about working with him, is getting back to the elite level of who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorsey said he spoke with Watson shortly after being hired as\u00a0Alex Van Pelt\u2019s replacement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to have a conversation with him and it was great,\u201d Dorsey said. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the premier quarterbacks in this league and from everything I\u2019ve heard about him, a really quality human being. So I\u2019m just excited about that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watson has been in Los Angeles for most of the offseason rehabbing from his shoulder surgery. He\u2019s expected back in Cleveland for most \u2014 if not all \u2014 of the team\u2019s offseason activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
