Joe Thomas and Daryl Ruiter rave about Deshaun Watson's standout Tuesday practice, calling it his sharpest day of camp with quick decisions and touchdowns all over the field in 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 drills. Ken and Anthony debate whether one great practice should shift momentum in the QB race, with Anthony pushing back on the "stat tracker" hype while Ken pokes at his defensiveness. ESPN's Mike Garofalo weighs in too, saying he's believed since February that Watson will be the Week 1 starter over Shedeur Sanders. Ken admits he wants Sanders to win the job but still expects Watson to be the one taking snaps when the season begins.
Does Deshaun Watson's "Great Practice" Put Him Ahead in the QB Race?
