Terrell Watson will never be Christian Okoye but he’s still gunning for an NFL home. And he’s making a positive impression on his head coach.
Watson, hailing from Okoye’s alma mater, caught Mike Tomlin’s eye in Sunday’s practice at Heinz Field. He scored on all three carries of goal line work, one of the highlights of camp, after the first team offense was stuffed on four attempts. On his first carry, he ran over left guard and into the end zone. The second was the benefit of good blocking by the line and David Johnson, securing the edge and scoring off the left side.
