Deshaun Watson first earned prominence as a Gainesville High School football player, utilizing his six feet and ten-inch height and 220-pound weight. He made history as a high school athlete when he set state records for passing yards, total touchdowns, passing touchdowns, and overall yards.
Using his expanding arsenal, the talented quarterback led Clemson University’s Tigers to the NCAA National Championship in 2017. He had led the Tigers to the title game the previous season.
Houston Texas selected Deshaun as the franchise’s first-round pick (12th overall) in the 2017 NFL Draft, recognizing his talent.
Salary, employment contract, and net worth 2022/2023
Deshaun earned $8.125 million in bonuses when he signed a four-year deal with Houston Texas. The transaction was for $13.8 million — all of which was guaranteed.
According to the agreement, the star quarterback would earn an average annual salary of $3.4 million.
Deshaun has a reported net worth of $4 million after taxes. His profits from the NFL account for a sizable portion of his personal worth. However, endorsement arrangements with Nike and Beats By Dre should help him enhance his riches even further.

Deshaun made his NFL debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars in September 2017. He finished his debut season with 1,699 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in seven games. Meanwhile, he gained 269 yards and two scores on the ground.
His stats would have been higher had he not sustained an ACL injury during his rookie season. In November 2017, he underwent ACL reconstruction surgery.
Deshaun returned to the NFL in 2018/19 after fully recuperating from the injury and subsequent surgery. He concluded the season with 4,165 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, nine interceptions, 551 running yards, and five rushing touchdowns, all career highs.
Despite the player’s positive relationship with the organization, fans and commentators have accused the Houston Rockets of not adequately protecting the injury-prone Deshaun.
Girlfriend & Relationship
Deshaun remained in contact with his high school girlfriend Dallas Robson even after the NFL draft. Throughout college, the NFL player and his longtime girlfriend dated.
However, by 2018, the couple’s romance had ended. Deshaun’s bond with Mia Khalifa, meantime, was flourishing. Both the quarterback for the Houston Rockets and the adult actress refuted relationship rumors.
When the year 2019 rolled around, and Instagram model named Ashley Marie emerged as Deshaun’s new muse.
By vacationing in Atlanta in February of that year, the lovebirds encouraged relationship rumors.
Father’s and Mother’s ages
Despite the various relationships, Deann Watson, Deshaun’s mother, remains the leading woman in his life. Deann is a stage-five survivor of tongue cancer.
Deshaun was born in Gainsville, Georgia in September 1995. The 23-year-old grew up without a father. He once tweeted, in reference to his father Don Richardson:-
“My heart cold cause I grew up without a father.”
The famous quarterback is the second of four children and has an older brother named Detrick. His youngest siblings are twins Tinisha and Tyreke.
