In fairness to C Watson, Ledyard’s ranking should probably give him more of an incomplete grade.
Ledyard admits that Watson “hails from a run-heavy NDSU” saying that the he did not get many chances in a less competitive conference/division (Missouri Valley in the FCS) vs the FBS.
But when he did get the touches, he went “absolutely nuts” and also showed up big time at the senior bowl to show he can perform at the higher level of competition.
Looking at Watson’s resume:
- 9.96 overall RAS (4.36 40…better than Tyreek at 4.39)!
- Height 6’5”!!
- 20.4 YPCatch / 8.0 YPCarry
- Reportedly a good route runner with great footwork and ball tracking ability
- Reportedly has some issues with drops which is definitely concerning
Bottom line for me…Reid, Veach and staff have earned trust enough to vet him out. I’m certainly a fan of him at the 50 spot.
