Watts played in eight games in 2016. He registered 56 tackles, 6 TFL, 2 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, and a sack. Watts had 3 passes defended and 2 interceptions.
Recap
One could argue that there wasn’t a defensive play more important this season than Watts’ interception of Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs in double overtime. The pick secured the Aggies first 6-0 start in Kevin Sumlin’s tenure at Texas A&M. The season might not have ended well, but the injuries in the secondary, including to Watts, might have had something to do with that.
