[QUOTE=TheMikeIsHot;3532338]Except Sintim played in a 3-4 and was probably better suited to take on that role at the next level.

Watson is a MUCH better natural athlete. It's not even close.

I don't really know who to compare Watson to in the NFL right now. He's sort of a rare player. Not that he's special, but I just can't think of anyone else who to compare him to... maybe you've got something in mind.[/QUOTE]

Meh...Virginia's college 3-4 doesn't really factor into anything for me. Sintim was a good 4-3 OLB prospect too.

Watson's just a good athlete who can develop if he's coached up. I just like his chances better than most guys his size to try out with Rex's D, and because his size stands out he stands out. Plus, 3-4 teams have been taking developmental guys like him and finding uses for them.
