We are now up to three 2017 NFL Draft prospects who will be taking official visits to meet with the Green Bay Packers. After learning about Purdue wide receiver DeAngelo Yancey and Cincinnati inside linebacker Eric Wilson earlier, a third player has been reported this week.
In keeping with the Packers’ search for top athletic prospects in the late rounds of the draft or in undrafted free agency, Watson has the speed to qualify as a good athlete. He was listed by the Falcons at 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds in 2016, and played his first two years on the defensive line before playing linebacker part-time as a junior.
