Breaking News: Possible Bengals Draft Target Notre Dame Star Safety Xavier Watts Signs With Athletes First…

Watts played for current Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden for three seasons at Notre Dame.

Watts will be mentioned as a possible Bengals draft target over the next few months. Not only did he finish with 13 interceptions over the past two seasons, but he played for current Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden.

Adding a player like Watts would make a ton of sense for the Bengals. He has experience with Golden, should be a quality NFL player right away and the Bengals have had issues on the back end of their defense over the past few seasons.

A big reason why the Bengals didn’t retain Bates is because they were unable to get a deal done with his agent David Mulugheta.

Mulugheta represents a lot of top players and the Bengals haven’t signed one of his clients to a long-term contract. It’s why Tee Higgins switching from Mulugheta to Rocky Arceneaux was such big news.

Of course, this doesn’t mean the Bengals will pass on Watts in the draft, but it adds another wrinkle to the idea that the star safety will follow Golden to Cincinnati.
