Neil Stratton of Inside the League was the first to report the news.
Congratulations to former #Giants scout Chris Watts (@Cdub_79), who has left his post w/the @USFLMaulers to join the #Steelers as a college scout. Here he is talking to aspiring #NFL scouts in the CGSU program as a speaker at the @CGSAllStar in January. pic.twitter.com/6FNtZ75JgK

Watts joined the USFL, working with the Pittsburgh Maulers, after his tenure with the Giants ended during the 2021 offseason. He joined the Giants in 2005 as a training camp intern before eventually rising up the ranks as the southwest area scout for five years.
Watts was one of the few left from the Jerry Reese era and now rejoins the NFL scouting world as a part of the new regime in Pittsburgh.
