Round 6 | Quez Watkins, Southern Mississippi
Watkins declared for the draft after a monstrous 2019 season, in which he finished with 55 catches for 1,024 yards (18.6 yards per catch) and 16 touchdowns.
Watkins, the 6-foot and 185 pounder is a blur off the line of scrimmage, winning with his straight-line speed (4.35 40-yard dash) and nice body control and his length to reel in the football down the field.
When he catches the ball on short routes, Watkins to stress defenses with his ability to find angles and take off vertically from that point on to keep the chains moving.
In 34 games, Watkins had 150 receptions for 2,250 yards (15.0 yards per catch) and 16 touchdowns.
