When the Pittsburgh Steelers used their final draft pick on Texas’ Ryan Watts, there was one big question. What is he? A corner, as he was throughout his college career, or a safety, where many draftniks projected he’d transition to? The Steelers announced him as a catch-all defensive back, and because he was the team’s final pick, no position coach came out to speak with the media. So we were left guessing.
The Trib’s Chris Adamski provides an answer. Thursday, he noted Watts has worked as a safety during practices, though his ultimate home remains up in the air.
