Overreaction: Deshaun Watson is the next Russell Wilson.

Deshaun Watson is the next Russell Wilson.

The rookie quarterback is off to a sensational start for the Houston Texans. He has thrown more touchdown passes (19) in his first seven games than anyone in NFL history.

Watson nearly led the Texans to a victory over Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, throwing for 402 yards and four TDs in a 41-38 loss. But Wilson rallied the Seahawks to a last-minute win.

Wilson has already won a Super Bowl and has led his team to the playoffs five straight seasons.

Watson might end up having even more success than Wilson, but let’s not put him in that category after seven games.
