If they did, his name is Justin Watson and he’s headed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by way of the University of Pennsylvania.
Of course, there’s one big difference in the two receivers already. While Nelson was drafted in the second-round of the 2008 NFL Draft from Kansas State, Watson had to wait until the fifth to hear his own name called.
Taking a look at his draft profile on NFL.com, Watson is credited with having athleticism and most of the key receiver characteristics you’d look for in a pro-caliber prospect.
Really, the big knock on him coming out is the level of competition he faced not playing in a Division 1A school.
