Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson has grown accustomed to fighting through adversity.
If you’re a reader of Arrowhead Pride, you know about his collegiate journey — and how he had to work with his mom at a Wendy’s, as he was academically ineligible to transfer to USC. Watson would eventually catch on with Washington State, earning All-Pac 12 honors in 2020 and 2021.
The Chiefs hosted Watson on a top-30 visit, but on draft weekend, as he watched general manager Brett Veach take two corners, he began to lose hope that Kansas City would be his destination.
