Deshaun Watson tells Cowboys to trade Dak Prescott to Browns and draft him image

Myles Garrett isn’t the only NFL draft prospect pleading the Cowboys to draft him.

Former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was in Fort Worth, Texas, to accept an award at the Davey O’Brien awards ceremony on Monday, and during his speech, Watson jokingly begged the Cowboys to draft him.

“I like being back in Fort Worth, Texas. I told you I would be back here. I told coach Garrett if I’m back here, you have to draft me,” Watson told the audience, via the Star-Telegram. “I know there are a lot of Dallas Cowboys fans. Tony Romo is healthy. Dak, I’m a huge fan. Love that man. Had the privilege to get to know him this year. He’s been successful.

“I did my part, you have to do your part.”

Not only will Watson, one of the top quarterbacks in the 2017 NFL Draft, be long gone when the Cowboys pick at No. 28, the team already has a young budding star in quarterback Dak Prescott and Tony Romo.

But don't worry, Watson has a plan.

“The Browns do need a quarterback,” Watson joked. “You can trade both of them (Prescott and Romo). They need two.”

Sorry, Deshaun. Not a chance in hell.
