Watch: Deshaun Watson breaks down into tears reading letter from mom

Shortly after being drafted by the Houston Texans on Thursday night, former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was handed a letter written by his mother, Deann.

He was visibly touched by the letter, breaking down into tears as he read it on camera.

"I watched you play your first flag football game all the way to the last college game," Deann, a cancer survivor, wrote. "To be here at the NFL draft and see you walk across the stage is a dream come true. I’m so proud of the person and the man you became.”
