Vikings selected Georgia Tech LB Brandon Watts with the No. 223 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft.
Watts (6-foot-1 3/4, 225) ran a scintillating 4.41 forty at the Yellow Jackets’ Pro Day while posting a 37.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-2 broad jump. He’s a light sideline-to-sideline linebacker who profiles as a weak-side ‘backer in a 4-3 scheme. Initially, Watts will try to earn a roster spot by covering kicks.
