Watson was signed as an UDFA out of Kentucky following this year’s draft. There, he logged 28.5 career TFLs and 18.5 sacks. Poor Pro Day numbers caused him to fall out of the draft.
He logged more time thanks to TJ Watt’s hold-in, giving Watson consistent third-team reps, but his play wasn’t anything noticeable or substantial.
