was one of the early favorites on the the day. He excelled in all of the testing drills, showcasing the athletic ability he is equipped with. Running a sub 5, 40 yard dash, Ryder showed that he has the ability to keep up with some of the quicker RBs and WRs in attendance. On top of that, during individual drills Ryder demonstrated quick, choppy feet and great spatial awareness, both traits that allow him to shut a play down at a moments notice. Keep an eye on this NJ backer.

Ryder Watson is a complete stud and someone who can really make plays from the linebacker spot and as an athlete in general. Watson can do a lot with his athletic ability and I can assure everyone that he will likley be doing the same thing in Jackson, New Jersey at the “RIZE” on June 27th.

made a strong impression at the Who’s Next event earlier this year, posting impressive times in both the 40-yard dash and shuttle. While he attended that event as a running back, his athletic profile and movement skills project well to the linebacker position. He possesses the speed and agility needed to excel on the defensive side of the ball. It will be exciting to see how those traits translate at linebacker, as all the tools are in place for Ryder to make a major statement two Saturdays from now.
