BIO: All-conference selection every season since his sophomore campaign. Suffered with a leg injury as a senior but still posted 74/968/11 after 71/1,030/12 the prior year. Exploded onto the national stage posting 91/1,417/18 as a sophomore in 2001.
POSITIVES: Explosive pass-catcher that breaks games wide open when focused. Quick route runner that gets separation from defenders, adjusts to the oncoming throw and displays good eye-hand coordination. Plays much faster than his 40 time and has the ability to switch it on then run away from opponents down the field. Tracks the deep ball or gets vertical to make the acrobatic reception. Uses the sidelines well and elusive running after the reception. Instinctive wide out that finds the open spot on the field or gets past the yard markers on third down.
NEGATIVES: Continually lets the pass get inside him and cradles it against his body. Does not always come away with the tough grab in traffic. Lazily rounds off his routes at times.
ANALYSIS: Not known as a tough receiver willing to do the extras to make himself a better player, Watts has the underlying skills to be an explosive receiver at the next level should he decide to take his game to the next level.
