#1 CHRISTIAN WATSON VS NORTHER IOWA (2021)

#1 CHRISTIAN WATSON CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths

• He is a dynamic freak of nature receiver equipped with blazing speed. 
• His speed is impressive for a receiver of his size, and he is electric.
• He has excellent size, a slim frame, long arms, and big hands to box out the defender to grab the ball.
• He imposes a mismatch problem for the defender.
• He plays with a twitch that is problematic for the defenders.
• He is versatile as a receiver, was used well out the backfield, end-around, and jet sweeps, making him a dangerous weapon.
• He is dangerous with the ball and can take a simple two-yard throw for a long touchdown.
• He has excellent body control impressive leaping ability to win most contested 50/50 balls.

​

Weaknesses

• His level of competition will poise as a red flag going into the draft.
• Despite being a talented receiver, he has raw skills that will need refining.
• He has a limited route tree and utilizes his speed to separate to get open.
• He will need to work on running crispy routes as he rounds his routes, leading to interceptions or contested balls by the defender.
• He uses too many chop and stutter steps to separate when running his routes.

Draft Projection: 2nd - 3rd Round

NFL Comparison: Tee Higgins (Cincinnati Bengals)
