Eagles Reporter Says New Steelers WR Quez Watkins Has ‘Tantalizing Profile’

Entering the NFL’s Owners Meetings in Orlando this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers still had some major holes on the roster after a fast and furious first week of the new league year in mid-March.

GM Omar Khan quietly went to work early in the week, landing Quez Watkins to try and address some depth at one of the biggest areas of need for the Steelers, the former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver agreeing to a one-year deal.

In four seasons with the Eagles, Watkins made some big plays as a former sixth-round pick, hauling in 98 passes for 1,249 yards and six touchdowns.
