Expert Analysis
CJ Marable | Prep Redzone Scout
Drops an early anchor, generally gets good extension with his arms, and can control blocks and scrape toward the play direction. Disciplined defender whose shoulders are square to the line on almost every snap. Keeps his head up and is able to consistently locate the ball carrier. Likes to hit and has thudding power to set the tone defensively. Power-based rush approach with good leg drive and the lower-body strength to walk back interior linemen and constrain the room quarterbacks have to work with. Regularly overpowers opponents in a phone booth when rushing the passer; a physical mismatch against many OL’s.

Watkins plays with a consistent motor and sense of urgency. Quick reaction times and impressive get-off often let him run right past an opposing tackle from his wider alignments. He’s a good overall athlete with plenty of speed and smooth change-of-direction. He’s able to dip his shoulder and bend a smooth arc, with impressive flexibility in his ankles.
