It just shows how different a path can be.
Watkins was born in June of 93, did not redshirt and left school early, he was 20 years old when drafted, he's now 26 and this is his 6th year in the NFL.
Pringle was born November 93 so I guess technically he's younger than Watkins but not by much. Firstly this means as children Watkins started school a year earlier, and Pringle left school as a Junior at age 24 and I know he started his college career at a community college. This means he probably sat years for not qualifying and transferring.
Watkins had the fastest road possible to the NFL and Pringle took a path that is well, ridiculous.
