Hours after the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Draft that saw the Pittsburgh Steelers bypass adding a defensive back to the fold, the black and gold added a pair of intriguing defensive backs on the undrafted free agent market, attempting to find a diamond in the rough.
According to The Athletic’s Nick Baumgardner, one of those UDFA’s in the defensive secondary to watch for the Steelers throughout the summer is Massachusetts cornerback Bryce Watts.
Watts spent time with Massachusetts, Virginia Tech and North Carolina during his time in college, which hurt his draft stock overall, especially after he found himself in a cornerback rotation with UMass in 2021.
