Watson’s career trajectory has been troubling, marked by significant off-field controversies and now compounded by ongoing health issues. This crisis signifies a grim situation for the Cleveland Browns, who traded three first-round picks to acquire Watson in a high-stakes gamble for their franchise quarterback.

However, the physical toll the injuries have taken evokes comparisons to other players whose careers have floundered due to similar circumstances.
