Watts took advantage of that Senior Bowl invite.

Good for him.

Was hoping Jackson would get a ticket.

Logan Paulsen, former NFL TE (WASH, SEA, ATL) and current Washinton Commanders insider loves Haynes and thinks he could end up in DC at the top of the 2nd round.

Haynes had a great week at the Senior Bowl.

I'm thinking he's a day 3 pick.

I love your optimism, but the nfl just said they see 321 picks in front of him.

Yeah, maybe I jumped the gun slightly...

Most of his negatives are measureables (Ht, Wt, hand size). His technique is not flawless by any means, but effort and heart can rarely be measured. He'll have an opportunity to show what he can offer on Pro Day.

Anything can happen in the 7th round and it only takes one team who sees something. OTOH, if he goes the UDFA route, he can go to any franchise who offers. I believe he grew up a Giants fan. That would be a shame, considering the teams for whom I root, but I'd still root for him individually.

Not UConn specific but a good look at what players do leading up to the combine.

The Exos facilities are right next to the Andrews Institute where Dr. James Andrews works his magic (Although he has really throttled back the past few years as age catches up with him).

EXOS in Gulf Breeze provides 'elite' training for NFL Combine prospects, high school stars

"There’s only three locations in America like this. One of them is right here in Gulf Breeze," said Anthony Hobgood, senior director of performance at EXOS.

There are players not invited who get picked in the draft, it happens every year. His UConn pro day will have a lot to say about if he is drafted or invited to a camp as a free agent

Watts just ran 4.68 40... SOLID! At that size, exceptional (IMO)...

The one thing Eric Watts needs to develop is a bag... meaning pass rush moves to go along with his NFL ready frame... He can make it, but he needs to get in the lab with a vet to make it happen... I'm praying he gets the perfect opportunity.. because, if he does, the way they aren't even mentioning him having one of the best 40 times today so far, it's a little insulting... I hope he takes it that way....

His 40 time was middle of the pack for his DE group, but that includes guys much lighter than him. Overall, he is looking very good today.

Exactly. He's 6'6 and 274lbs. That's a runaway freight train
