One of the best parts of the NFL draft process is seeing young men take advantage of their opportunities. The NFL is always looking for talented players, and they don’t always look for them in the big-name football factories. Some great football players have entered the League from the ranks of the small schools, some spending time at a junior college (JuCo) before transferring to a bigger school.
That, as it so happens, is the route taken by Austin Watkins Jr. out of UAB. Watkins is a JuCo transfer who has been impressing at each stop along his journey.
