Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has a tall frame and long arms, plus strong hands, giving him a huge catch radius.
- Has a knack for getting open and is a quarterback's best friend - passers just need to toss the ball in his area and he'll come down with it.
- Has long arms to stiff-arm defensive backs in the open field. Willing to lower his pads to run through tackles for extra yardage. Goes over the middle, can spin out of tackles and take the big hit.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and Watts shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
- Balanced, savvy route runner with top field awareness, setting up and selling routes beautifully.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Watts fights hard for the ball, but Watts too often fights to catch it; there are too many double catches on his highlight reel. It shows up in contested-catch situations in the red zone.
- He has constantly ran a limited route tree.
- His playing speed is less than elite. Watts won’t run past defenders like he did at the college level.
- Inconsistent high-pointing passes. Allows too many throws into his body when facing the quarterback.
