After a productive year at Memphis, many believed running back Blake Watson would be drafted. For whatever reason, that did not happen, and he became one of the prizes of the undrafted free agency period. Multiple teams had interest in the explosive runner, but he would ultimately end up signing with the Denver Broncos.
I had high hopes for Watson entering training camp. The Broncos' running back room was iffy at best, and he profiles as a type of back that could flourish in Sean Payton’s offense. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury and was sidelined for multiple training camp practices.
