Explosive Louisville RB with Big-Play Juice, But 2025 Production Cooled

Watson’s calling card is explosiveness: in 2024 at Louisville, he averaged 8.9 yards per carry and scored 8 total touchdowns, flashing home-run speed and chunk-play ability that can tilt a game quickly. In 2025, his efficiency and volume dropped sharply, finishing with 49 carries for 158 yards and 2 total touchdowns, so the tape suggests a player whose upside still outpaces his recent stat line. He looks like a fit for teams that value acceleration, versatility, and upside in space, but he is not currently a bankable high-volume workhorse.[9][13][16]
