Niners Nation on Jordan Watkins

Watkins leads healthy 49ers WRs in camp; elite athleticism, improving middle-field game.

With Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Jacob Cowing injured, Watkins is currently the 49ers' best wide receiver among the healthy trio of Demarcus Robinson, Deebo Samuel, and himself. The source notes: "today, the best of those three clearly was Watkins, who caught a deep touchdown pass from Purdy during 11-on-11s." Among the three healthy receivers, "Watkins is the youngest, the fastest, the quickest, and the best route runner. He can beat you with a quick slant or a post over the top. The only area of the field where he struggles is over the middle, because he's not particularly big. Still, he's improving."
