The Denver Broncos recently signed former Memphis Tigers running back Blake Watson as an undrafted free agent. Watson has a wealth of experience, having played four years at Old Dominion and finishing his super redshirt season at Memphis. In his final season, Watson showcased his skills by rushing for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns, while also proving to be a threat in the passing game with 53 catches, 485 yards, and three touchdowns.
Watson’s versatile playing style has the potential to make him a valuable double-threat running back for the Broncos in today’s NFL. However, he may face stiff competition to earn a spot on the team’s roster, as Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine currently hold the top running back positions, with Jaleel McLaughlin providing solid backup support. If Watson doesn’t make the team initially, his experience could still benefit the Broncos on the practice squad or possibly earn him an active roster spot in the future.
Ultimately, Watson’s signing represents an opportunity for him to showcase his abilities and potential impact on the team as he competes for a spot on the Broncos’ roster.
