Ryan Watts is thrilled to be draft, excited to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. But he hasn’t forgotten about the 194 players drafted ahead of him. And he’s bringing a Texas-sized chip on his shoulder to the NFL.
Watts shared this Instagram video detailing his pre-draft process from training to the Combine to draft day. He had to sit through Thursday and Friday, the first three rounds, before hoping to hear his name called before the 257th pick came in. Pittsburgh snagged him with their final sixth round selection at No. 195, a moment and phone call captured by Watt’s team.
