The Atlanta Falcons have emerged as a sleeper team to acquire Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, per ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.
The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers have already expressed interest in Watson adding to the rivalry in the NFC South. Both teams met with the Houston quarterback on Tuesday.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Falcons are expected to meet with Watson on Wednesday.
Watson played high school football at Gainesville High School, not far from the Falcons training camp facility where he was a ball boy for several years.
