Texans' Watson: If Brady wins 6th Super Bowl, 'I want to be at 7'

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is setting some lofty goals when he returns from the ACL injury that cut his rookie season short.

As Tom Brady attempts to win his sixth Super Bowl with the New England Patriots on Sunday, it'll only raise Watson's personal bar.

"If Tom wins, it's going to six, right? I want to be at seven," Watson said Friday on "Good Morning Football," according to Nick Shook of NFL.com. "Whatever it takes to be the best, the greatest, and not just for me, but for any athlete, especially quarterback ... if you don't want to chase Tom Brady and being above him, you're selling yourself short. I always put my mentality with (being) the best, and Tom Brady is the best right now, so whatever I have to do to get to that level at age 40, that's what I'm going to do."

After being drafted by the Texans 12th overall last year, Watson got his first NFL start in Week 2. He'd proceed to complete 61.8 percent of his passes for 1,699 yards, and 19 touchdowns over seven games (six starts) in his rookie season. He added another 269 yards and two touchdowns on 36 rushing attempts.

Brady and the Patriots needed a 25-yard touchdown completion to wide receiver Brandin Cooks for a come-from-behind victory over Watson and the Texans in Week 3. Watson threw an interception on the Texans' proceeding drive to seal it for the Patriots.
