The Denver Broncos recently signed Blake Watson, a former Memphis Tigers running back, as an undrafted free agent. Watson’s impressive background includes four years at Old Dominion and a super redshirt season at Memphis, where he had 1,152 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on 192 carries in his final season. He also showcased his dual-threat ability with 53 catches, 485 yards, and three touchdowns.
In today’s NFL, Watson’s skill set makes him an ideal option for the Broncos. However, he will face stiff competition from Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine who currently hold the top two running back positions. Jaleel McLaughlin also provides strong support to the team. If Watson doesn’t make the team, his experience could still prove valuable on the practice squad or potentially earn him a spot on the active roster in the future.
Overall, Watson’s signing adds depth to the Broncos’ running back position and brings versatility to the team. It will be fascinating to see how he performs in training camp and preseason games as he competes for a spot on the roster.
