Houston Texans' first NFL Draft pick Deshaun Watson wears spiked Louboutin shoes
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (KTRK) -- Former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson is already enjoying the life of an NFL player after the Houston Texans picked him in the first round of the draft.
Watson is getting a lot of attention, not only from Texans fans, but others who spotted his spiky new pair of shoes Thursday night.
During a press conference with the media, Watson showed off his new designer brand shoes, which ESPN reported were Christian Louboutins called Dandy Pik Pak flat smoking slippers.
The cost? Nearly $2,000.
Watson told reporters that he had always wanted a pair of Louboutins and thought draft day was the perfect occasion to buy himself a pair.
The Texans traded their first-round pick this year and next year to select Watson at No. 12.

Watson broke down into tears as he read a letter from his mom after he was drafted.
"I'm so proud of the person and the man you became," Watson read. "You made it."
