Scouting Report
The brother of NFL superstars J.J. Watt and T.J. Watt, he was built on a smaller scale than his accomplished siblings. However, he worked vigorously like his brothers. Was a conventional lead-blocking fullback and short-yardage runner in two-back sets. Was not exceptional in any department but was a standout on special teams.
Long Range Potential: Depth fullback and special teamer.
