With the 195th selection of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected DB Ryan Watts.
Watts, a favorite of our Josh Carney, is being listed as a defensive back, though some speculated he would move to safety at the NFL level. Watts brings great size and athleticism, the only corner to check every box in our “What They Look For” study.
At the NFL Combine, Watts weighed in at 6027, 208 pounds with 34 1/2-inch arms. He ran a 4.53 40 but really impressed with a 40.5-inch vertical and 10’5″ broad jump. He began his career at Ohio State before transferring to Texas.
