About this item

Deshaun Watson's story is one of hardship and struggle, but it is also a story full of hope and inspiration. Deshaun's mother, Deann, was a particularly strong influence in her son's life. Deann struggled to make ends meet, raising her family in a run-down apartment in Gainesville, Georgia, surrounded by gangs and drug dealers. But early in Deshaun's life, miracles began to appear alongside of the challenges. When he was eleven years old, a donation from Atlanta Falcons running back Warrick Dunn allowed the Watson family to move into a house of their own. Deshaun found mentors who encouraged him as he worked to support the family when Deann faced cancer during Deshaun's teen years.The Path will follow Deshaun's story through his years at Clemson and through his early years in the NFL, detailing Deshaun and Deann's ever-present faith as they journeyed through both disappointments and victories.
