The Facts: Watts reportedly showed his one-on-one skills as a receiver in mini-camps, getting off the line quickly, running sharp routes and making several acrobatic catches. But added bulk would help the rookie better battle cornerbacks at the line of scrimmage.
Diehards Line:Watts comes off an impressive collegiate career in which he demonstrated a remarkable nose for the end zone. He was especially productive last season, catching 74 passes for 968 yards and 36 touchdowns. According to those who follow the team closely, the Broncos expect Watts to compete for the No. 3 receiving spot this year. With veteran superstar Rod Smith coming off his 34th birthday and preparing for his 10th season as a pro, the longer range plans include Watts taking over as the starter opposite Ashley Lelie at some point down the road.
