The Chicago Bears had a chance to draft Deshaun Watson in 2017, but instead traded up to the No. 2 pick to select Mitchell Trubisky.

They've since benched Trubisky once this season before moving back to him as their starter.

"It's no motivation. It's what the organization went with," Watson said of Chicago passing on him. "I have no ties, nothing against the Chicago Bears or the organization. Of course, the media's gonna make stories and like you said, for those fans, they're gonna of course say something about it.

"For me personally, it's no motivation, nothing like that. They did what they did. And just keep pushing forward. They thought that was the best situation for themselves at that time. For me, it's no motivation, I respect and got all the respect for those players and coaches and ownership."

Watson has made two Pro Bowls and appeared in three playoff games.
