The Pittsburgh Steelers brought a familiar face in for a tryout today, as former UMass defensive back Bryce Watts worked out with the team, per the NFL transaction log via Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson. Watts was one of ten players initially signed by Pittsburgh as part of their undrafted free agent class. He suffered an injury during Pittsburgh’s rookie minicamp and was waived shortly after.
At UMass, Watts made 43 tackles, broke up four passes, and had half of UMass’ interceptions with one. He’s an intriguing corner who was originally recruited to Virginia Tech as a four-star prospect.
