Positive signalRole

Watson's comfort enables under-center adjustments that boost run game and playaction.

Steve Heiden notes that Watson has been 'much more unphased this year' and that the Browns' shift to going under center more frequently—rather than from shotgun—is adding value to the ground game, quick passing game, and playaction opportunities. This adjustment reflects Watson's improved comfort level and offensive adaptability.
