NFL Notes: Deshaun Watson, Draft, Eagles, Jets

Deshaun Watson

  • Jason Cole of B/R reports that โ€œseveralโ€ teams have been impressed with Clemson QB Deshaun Watsonโ€™s intangibles, as they try to rate him against the other quarterbacks in this yearโ€™s draft class.
  • Cole spoke to one head coach who said Watson has a โ€œCEO presenceโ€ to him when walking into a room and heโ€™s viewed as the best leader of this yearโ€™s quarterback class.
  • Even so, Cole says there are concerns about Watsonโ€™s ability to last in the NFL, due to his size.

Draft

  • Ian Rapoport reports that Kansas State DE/OLB Jordan Willis finished up the last of his 15 pre-draft visits and workouts on Wednesday by meeting with the Panthers. Willis visited with the Ravens Tuesday and the Buccaneers last week.
  • According to Ian Rapoport, Central Missouri QB Garrett Fugate could be the next Trevor Siemian. Heโ€™s coming off an ACL injury and has worked out for Packers and Chiefs.

Jaguars

  • According to Lance Zierlein of the NFL Network, there are rumors circulating around the league that the Jaguars could take a quarterback at No. 4 overall.
  • The Jaguars have worked out a number of quarterback prospects this year, so they at least appear to be somewhat interested in this yearโ€™s class.
