During their whirlwind tour of private workouts this past week, Rams worked out Tulsa RB Trey Watts. He's son of former OU QB J.C. Watts.

Watts rushed for 1,329 yards and caught 46 passes last season at Tulsa.

My 12 year old daughter can outrun him. How can anyone run so slow at that size? :eek:

Trey Watts. 39th ranked RB on CBS big board. Looks like a special teams prospect.

Short interview. Heady kid.


Heads up play here on the punt return. He doesn't look dirt slow to me. He's not fast either.


Nice kick return

We know one thing ...if he is like his dad he will give you all he has on the field & never cause you any concerns off the field. Comes from a great family!

This is the kind of late rounder that seems classic Snead.

No room on this roster for a slow, undersized RB. We have too many guys already that can make a splash on special teams.

PhxRam looking at the second best option:
I wish they would do 40 times with a dog chasing you.
Or my ex-wife.
It's pretty amazing how badly he did at the combine and Pro day. Makes one really wonder how important any of those measurables are when the the guy wins the SEC Defensive Player of the Year award.

They're not important. It's a dog and pony show.

-X- pointing out the consensus view:

I hear that said all the time and yet there are a couple (as usual) of things that work against that in my mind.

Very few of the good to great players in the NFL don't have good measurables. I say very few because i don't know any but I'm sure there must be.

While the 40 yard dash isn't important in my mind for a lineman, events like the shuttle, 3 cone, broad jump bench press and vertical jump do measure things that are indicative of physical qualities that normally show up on the field. Especially the vertical jump which is supposed to measure his explosiveness. I'm sure that some of them like the bench press can be improved by our strength coach.

I guess we'll see.

Yeah, I know. And you would expect that if they were big producers in college. My issue is giving it more weight as an evaluation tool than the simple eye test. With so many players becoming great without possessing great "measureables", it's safe to say that the whole show is, at best, an inexact science.
