Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie safety Ryan Watts has found himself behind the 8-ball a bit when it comes to his potential push for a spot on the 53-man roster in the Steel City.
Not only was he a sixth-round pick, he was also tasked with changing positions, moving from cornerback in college his last two seasons at Texas to safety in the NFL.
Through it all, Watts has performed and pushed his way into the conversation. He did much of that by being vocal from a communication aspect, earning some admiration from Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin.
