Tre Watson wasn’t selected in the 2019 NFL Draft over the weekend, but was picked up by the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent.
Safety Darnell Savage Jr., defensive lineman Byron Cowart, running back Ty Johnson and offensive lineman Derwin Gray were all selected in the draft. Watson, who most scouts pegged as a fourth or fifth-round prospect, never came off the board, despite having more interceptions than anyone at his position and more tackles than all but one linebacker drafted Saturday.
Watson enters the league after leading the Big Ten with five interceptions and 9.
