Deshaun Watson's success is rooted in his upbringing in a Habitat for Humanity house, which inspired him to achieve greatness in sports and life. His mother discovered Habitat through a church event and eventually contributed to building homes, leading to their own family's move into a Habitat house. By the age of 20, Watson had became a notable football star, receiving Habitat for Humanity International's first Next Generation Award in 2015.

 He had received a small piece of chocolate during a
Halloween party at a neighborhood church that had
attached information about Habitat housing on it. His
mother found it and applied, and before long, she
was helping build houses for others.
His family soon moved into their home, and Watson
credits the house with his success in sports and life,
since it inspired him to do great things. By age 20, he
was already a football star and received Habitat for
Humanity International's first Next Generation Award
in 2015, which included having a house built in his
honor in Greenville, SC.
