As the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans prepare for the NFL’s season opener in Arrowhead Stadium this coming Thursday night, Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was asked in a press conference if he compares himself to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes or Baltimore Ravens signal-caller Lamar Jackson — who have been named NFL MVP in the last two seasons.

Deshaun Watson on if he compares himself to Mahomes or Lamar Jackson: "I'm not going to compare myself to no one else ... We all want to be legendary and champs, but there's different standards and situations ... the way we operate and think might be a little bit different." pic.twitter.com/3O3GQSTEDZ

Watson was selected 12th — two spots after Mahomes — in the 2017 NFL Draft.
