Draft Profile: Armon Watts

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
