I was really surprised we did not sign Watson, he was the one RB I was hoping for after the draft.
Actually the Cowboys, Bengals, Falcons, Ravens and Texans were all heavy players to get Terrell Watson signed as a UDFA. I'm sure he's still on the Cowboys radar. Funny thing is Terrell is from Oxnard where the Cowboys hold training camp. The reason Terrell went with the Bengals was they flew him out during the pre draft process. Most Bengal fans and followers have given Terrell very little chance to make the active roster and expect the team to waive him and try to sign him the practice squad. Probably a good chance that he gets swiped up by another team, if that happens.
I heard there was a heavy contingent of scouts from other teams watching the game (maybe with Terrell as a primary target). There was a lot of mystery about Terrell coming out of college dominating division 2 opponents and whether it would translate to the NFL. His performance the other night obviously opened some eyes. It was reported that he got a lot more reps at Bengals practice today. So maybe they are reconsidering him for the active roster. I'm not sure.
Terrell info a lot of people don't know-
He led the state of California in rushing, his senior year in high school.
He led the nation in rushing his senior year in college (all levels of collegiate ball).
He won the MVP at the NFLPA all star game.
He literally has excelled at every level he's ever played.
I'm obviously a fan of his, but his talent is real.
