The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted DB Ryan Watts out of Texas, selecting him in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft as a defensive back, but the question still remains: what position will he play in the league? He primarily played cornerback in college while at Ohio State and Texas but was recruited out of high school as a safety, where he saw most of his playing time. As of this writing, it sounds like Pittsburgh is open to Watts doing both, as he has seen some time at safety during OTAs but mentioned that cornerback is still an option for him in the league.
