Player: S Ryan Watts
Stock Value: Sold
Reasoning: The Steelers announced they are waiving second-year S Ryan Watts for medical reasons, his career likely over before it began. A late-round pick a year ago, he showed promise throughout the offseason. A neck injury in the preseason finale, however, turned out to be more serious than initial hopes, it would seem.
It’s hard enough to make it in the NFL as a late-round draft pick without dealing with a major injury. Ryan Watts, however, looked like he would make the Steelers’ roster as a sixth-round rookie.
