Powerful, polished JMU guard who paired elite college production with NFL-caliber traits
In the 2012 season, Earl Watford was JMU’s top-rated offensive lineman, started all 11 games, allowed just one sack, and graded out at 85 percent while helping fuel a rushing attack that averaged 209.0 yards per game. He stood out for his strong anchor, athletic build, and nasty edge as a blocker, plus the kind of consistency coaches love: 35 straight starts to close his JMU career. If you want a tough, dependable interior lineman with proven power and pass-protection balance, he’s your kind of fit.
