His mother still lives in that house, but now that he’s receiving NFL paychecks he decided it was time to spruce it up.His mother is a survivor of throat cancer and watching her fight through the disease made him even more determined to do something special for her.“She deserves it,” Deshaun said. “It’s been a solid home for us for … over 12 years now. (But) living room, kitchen and dining area, those areas need a little touch up. Everything she went through, this is really the smallest thing I can do for her.”Watson chronicled the spiffy makeover of his mother’s living room

He picked the perfect lights, the color scheme, artwork for the wall, the right bar stools and kitchen cabinet, among dozens of other additions. Watson was thrilled to learn he could add a fireplace, something his mother had long wanted.He was pleased when told there’d be no need to build a chimney because it was an electric fireplace that starts with the flip of a switch.The 23-year-old Clemson graduate got a look at the completed project before unveiling it to his mother

When his mother arrived, he greeted her outside and held her hand as she closed her eyes before he led her into the fabulous upgraded space. When she opened her eyes and gazed around the room, a huge smile spread across her face. Her son’s smile was just as broad.He was right about the fireplace, too. It was one of the first things Deann commented on.“I love my fireplace,” she said. “I love it.”She walked around her renovated home with wide eyes, taking in all the beautiful changes. She was also excited to see that her microwave, which formerly took up counter space, was now built into one of the cabinets.“I never thought it would be like this,” she said. “It’s beautiful.”Watson enjoyed the challenge of leading this project

Everything that she saw, she loved it. Being a son and being able to take care of your momma and help her out felt good.” The man who used a second round pick to bring Tony Hollings to Houston has an idea who the Texans should take in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Texans StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Texans NewsYahoo Texans Team PageYahoo Texans ReportYahoo Texans Depth ChartYahoo Texans TransactionsYahoo Texans PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub 鉁?019 NFL Draft2019 NFL Mock Draft: Charley Casserly Strikes AgainNew,23commentsThe man who used a second round pick to bring Tony Hollings to Houston has an idea who the Texans should take in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.CDTShareTweetShareShare2019 NFL Mock Draft: Charley Casserly Strikes AgainHE’S STILL GOT IT.The 2019 NFL Draft is ten days away.Mock drafts are flying off the virtual shelves.Everyone with a pulse is releasing his or her mock draft, and Charley Casserly’s no different.He has a pulse.Ergo, he has a mock draft.Don’t think that the Texans’ original general manager just took the easy way out, either.He didn’t mail it in by simply sending the highest-ranked tackle left on the board to Houston at Pick No. 23.Instead, the man who once sent Houston’s second, third
