5’9” 160

Tiny guy in the slot with our big boy tight ends. Will cause mismatches all day

At 5'9", it would be very helpful if he could fly. Then he could outjump his defenders.

Feels like Jelani has been forgotten during this Simmons / McKinely / Mack / Durham situation.

This is a Huge pick up for us if we get him.

Our TE room by next year is going to be insane. Toss Watkins into the slot and it will be a matchup nightmare.

Love what this kid can bring, despite going to one of my former high school rivals :)

Soon after his last visits which were last weekend. I would imagine he could announce before Collins/Durham.

IMO Watkins compares to Pooka Williams in size and speed yet he is even faster than Pooka

Naw but he has visited them a lot of times so it has always been a close race.

the funny thing about that is Durham has Duncanville in the lead on the second relay. check out the 2:10 mark

When Watkins and Durham are on the field at the same time, opposing defenses are going to be watching blurs run past them — a true nightmare for them.

That would certainly be ideal. Keep the mo going from the pre-splash commits, to the splash, to the post-splash commits and then 10 Aug for Simmons/Durham.

After I saw his measurables, I instantly assumed he had to be pretty explosive
