LATEST NEWS: Deshaun Watson (Browns) Was Caught… Sleeping With a Football Signed by Tom Brady Under His Pillow Every Night
In one of the strangest revelations to come out of the NFL offseason, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has reportedly been caught engaging in a late-night ritual that has left fans stunned, teammates confused, and psychologists fascinated. According to several sources inside the Browns organization, Watson sleeps every single night with a football signed by Tom Brady tucked gently under his pillow.
The discovery was made accidentally, insiders say, when a team staffer entered Watson’s room during a road trip to deliver playbook updates and spotted a glow-in-the-dark “TB12” signature peeking out from beneath his pillow. What followed was a mixture of shock, disbelief, and questions that nobody on the team was prepared to ask.
The Secret Ritual Revealed
Witnesses claim that Watson treats the Brady-signed football with extreme care, placing it under his pillow each night “like a protective charm.” Some teammates say they’ve heard him whisper motivational phrases to it before falling asleep.
One anonymous Browns player said:
“I heard him say, ‘Teach me your greatness, Tom,’ and I swear the lights flickered right after. I’m not kidding.”
Another claimed Watson refuses to let hotel cleaning staff touch the ball, insisting that only he can “align the Brady aura correctly.”
Why Tom Brady?
Though Watson has said publicly he admires several quarterbacks, Brady has always been the gold standard—seven Super Bowl rings, legendary clutch moments, and a career most quarterbacks can only dream of. But nobody expected Watson to take his admiration this far.
A Browns staff member recalled asking Watson about the ritual directly:
“He told me the ball helps him channel championship energy. He said when he sleeps on it, he dreams of reading defenses faster and throwing touchdowns at impossible angles.”
There is no science to support these claims. But then again, this is the NFL—where superstition often runs deeper than statistics.
Team Reaction: Confusion, Concern, and Comedy
When head coach Kevin Stefanski was asked about the situation, he paused for several seconds before responding carefully:
“Look… as long as it doesn’t interfere with practice or preparation, I’m not worried about what our guys sleep with.”
Players, however, are having a field day.
Wide receiver Amari Cooper reportedly joked,
“If Tom Brady’s spirit can help Watson throw me more touchdowns, I’ll buy him five more signed footballs.”
Meanwhile, defensive teammates claim they are considering bringing their own “lucky objects,” ranging from Myles Garrett’s rumored good-luck sledgehammer to a jar of grass from the old Browns Stadium.
The Brady Camp Responds
A representative for Tom Brady commented briefly on the situation, saying:
“Tom signs a lot of footballs. What players do with them afterwards is up to them.”
Brady himself has not issued a statement, but social media exploded with speculation that he might be amused—or flattered—by Watson’s unusual nightly homage.
Fans React With Memes and Madness
Within hours of the story breaking, Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok were flooded with memes:
-
Watson tucked into bed hugging a glowing football
-
Brady wearing angel wings floating above Watson’s pillow
-
Browns fans asking if the ball can play quarterback “just in case”
One viral comment read:
“Forget playbooks. Watson’s running on Brady battery power now.”
Will This Ritual Continue?
According to sources, Watson has no plans to stop. In fact, he reportedly brings the football to both home and away games, placing it in his locker for “energy transfer” before kickoff.
Whether this ritual improves his performance or simply becomes one of the NFL’s strangest off-field stories remains to be seen. But one thing is certain:
Deshaun Watson is now officially the most dedicated Tom Brady fan in the league—maybe in history.
And if he leads the Browns to a playoff run this season, the entire city of Cleveland may end up sleeping with signed Brady footballs under their pillows too.
