Who?
Armon Watts
What Position?
Defensive Tackle
How Big?
He’s a real big boi
Yeah, but like actual numbers
6’-5”, 300 lbs
Strengths:
- Mobile on the line, can play where needed
- Extremely tough
- Great hand technique that he’s based on known large man Aaron Donald
- Great hands during engagement with offensive linemen
- Can pressure passers with his presence
Weaknesses:
- Wasn’t productive until his senior year
- Scouts describe him as “Tardy getting off the snap and up the field”
- Could be better at stopping run plays
The Skinny:
Armon Watts burst onto the scene his senior season, and never looked back. He racked up 7 sacks, shining amid an otherwise lackluster performance from Arkansas’ defense throughout the year. A true testament to studying technique, and being receptive to coaching, one year in John Chavis’ system changed Watts’ future, and earning him a shot at the big time.
Projected Round:
Fifth or Sixth, but has high potential to play above his draft spot
Who Would He Be If He Was An Avenger:
Drax the Destroyer
