Quick answer
WatchWatson had 1 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB255 through 2 games. From LB212 to LB255 through 2 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish. 2024 stopped at 7 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
