Deshaun Watson, pleased with Dobbs’ success in Kirk Cousins’ absence, shared thoughts on the Lockverse podcast. The Browns QB commended Joshua Dobbs on their longstanding journey, from high school to the present. He also reminisced about their shared moments—offseasons, training camps, and golf chats in Greensboro.
“First off, I’m proud of you, dawg. We’ve been rocking since high school, pretty much,” said Deshaun Watson.
In the interview, the duo reminisced about their football journey. Watson acknowledged Dobbs’ challenges with three city switches in two months. He then asked the Vikings QB for insights on maintaining focus amid such changes.
“I think the dynamics of my situations have helped me stay locked in. And obviously, not dwell on the fact that, ‘Oh! You gotta move across the country,’ Josh Dobbs said. “Because its been for more opportunity and that’s all I can ask for at this stage of my career.”
Josh Dobbs shared his insights on staying focused amidst these recent trades, viewing each opportunity as a step in his career. Transitioning from Cleveland to Arizona, he evolved from Deshaun Watson’s backup to a day-one starter. Moving from Arizona to Minnesota brought a new role after Kirk Cousins’ injury. Despite the dynamic situations, he stayed locked in, emphasizing excitement for career-stage opportunities over the challenge of relocating.
Watson and Dobbs share a tight bond, having trained together since high school. Their connection extends beyond friendship. Coach Avery once noted that no other NFL quarterback duo has worked out together as extensively as these two.
