The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Ryan Watts, knowing that his skill set was suited to fill a number of roles. While he was almost strictly an outside cornerback in college, they have fed him a steady diet of safety snaps. Indeed, it almost seems as though they are moving him to safety on a full-time basis.
To hear his coaches and teammates talk about it, you can convince yourself that’s the case. Damontae Kazee, a safety, for example, said of Watts, “He’s been good, transforming to the safety [position], asking a lot of questions”.
