Jaylen Watson’s 99-yard pick-six was the pivotal moment in the Chiefs' Thursday night victory. Learn more about the rookie seventh-round draft pick's improbable journey to this point:
Nearly losing his football dreams forced Watson to turn things around, and about a year after he left USC, he had things straight enough to commit to Washington State. He was a straight-A student and earned an associates degree, allowing thim to enter his new school.
An All-Pac-12 Conference honorable mention as a redshirt junior, Watson finished his two-year career with the Cougars in 2021, having allowed 35 catches on 65 targets for 378 yards, 79 yards after the catch, two touchdowns, two interceptions, four pass breakups, and an opponent passer rating of 68.6.Despite that, and turning heads at the scouting combine and his pro day, Watson had to wait until the 22nd pick in the seventh and final round of the draft to hear his name called.
In his first NFL preseason, Watson transcended his draft status, allowing three catches on 10 targets for 24 yards, 15 yards after the catch, no touchdowns, no interceptions, two pass breakups, and an opponent passer rating of 39.6. He did allow a touchdown against the Cardinals, but he also“ was really happy with how Jaylen went in there and did what he did,” Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said. “They challenged him right away, which is what real good teams do.
