Minutes later, his phone started blowing up with messages and tweets, even getting recognition from well-known outlets like Pro Football Focus. Pasteris tweeted out the document to his 12 followers, not knowing that nobody else had broken the story.

Nearly one week later, his NFL source told him to check the NFL Communications portal, as the league had just released a PDF with information regarding Watson. The NFL gave Pasteris media credentials in exchange for showing them how he managed to gain access to those documents. Pasteris finally got in contact with a source who has contacts in the league and managed to get their attention. Instead of leaking them, Pasteris tried to contact the NFL but says they did not take him or the claim seriously. He has an information technology background and while browsing the NFL and NFLPA websites, Pasteris stumbled upon a glitch that gave him access to various league documents. Pasteris, a seld-proclaimed "huge" New England Patriots fan, still lives with his parents and works as an overnight machine operator at a manufacturing plant. Here's how Pasteris pulled off the improbable feat. A random 23-year-old guy on Twitter by the name of Joseph Pasteris was the first to break the story of Deshaun Watson's 11-game suspension Thursday, beating NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, and Senior NFL Insider at ESPN, Adam Schefter, among others.
