"I had a nice time visiting Saudi Arabia and learned a lot about the original Saudi culture and society," Watson wrote on X. "And I enjoyed watching Al-Nassar, Al-Al-Wali and Al-Hilal, Al-Zaim, and I heard a lot about the singing of Al-Ahly fans and Al-Ittihad.

NFL fans responded to Watson’s trip, with many believing it was a paid PR trip. Others called for his PR team to be fired for the trip.
"This man got a bag for this tweet, I’ll put that on my life," one fan wrote on X.
"Tone def personified," another fan wrote.
Fans appeared to be more impressed with the shot Jilly Anais, his girlfriend, posted on Instagram of her and Watson in the country.
Watson was traded to the Browns from the Houston Texans as he faced multiple accusations of sexual misconduct. The civil lawsuits against Watson ended with a settlement.
