Watson is not looking to add more designed QB runs to the Browns' offense.
Through three games, Watson has the Browns sitting at 1–2, and his QBR ranks second to last among qualified quarterbacks, only ahead of the recently benched Bryce Young. He's thrown three touchdowns and two interceptions on the year, while completing just 57.8% of his pass attempts.
"I'm not going in there to ask them for more designed runs. ... If I don't have to run, I'm not going to run," Watson said, via"I'm not a running back. It's not my specialty. They signed me to throw the ball, make decisions and be a quarterback, not a runner," he added.
