Cover-3 based system leveraging versatile defensive backs who can play both safety and slot corner, emphasizing speed and coverage skills over pure run support.
Initially a rotational safety and primary nickel/dime sub-package defender with the upside to develop into a starting centerfielder in a two-safety system.
A run-heavy, downhill 3-4 defense that frequently asks safeties to play in the box and shed blocks against larger offensive linemen.
Watkins' speed and coverage ability make him a valuable asset in schemes prioritizing versatility and pass defense from their secondary.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
