Xavier Watts has played like the steal of the 2025 NFL Draft and is finally receiving national attention. After an elite performance on Monday Night Football with two interceptions, Watts boasts five on the season and 10 passes defensed. On top of this, one of his five tackles on MNF came at the perfect time.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw a screen pass inside the red zone to Xavier Smith. Immediately after crossing the line of scrimmage, Watts screamed in unblocked past the outstretched arms of tight end Colby Parkinson and laid the wood on Smith, dropping him immediately.
