Kylee Surike | Special to PennLive Watkins is another wide receiver being cut, and he could circle back on the practice squad. However, heWatkins was the Eagles’ sixth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Southern Mississippi. Coming out, he ran a blazing 40-yard dash, clocking in at a 4.35 40 time.
Pittsburgh has a lot of receivers similar to Watkins, such as Miller and Roman Wilson. He muffed a punt in the first preseason gameand never rebounded enough in-stadium to make up for it. Calvin Austin III projects to be the Steelers’ starting punt returner once again. The Steelers will have to choose if they keep five or six wide receivers on the final roster, but with another player likely coming in from the outside, Watkins just had no room on the roster after a quiet summer. The Steelers signed Watkins in April as they patched together the wide receiver room in hopes that he would take a jump, but that never came to fruition with the Steelers.
