Watson, an undrafted free agent from the 2024 draft, hosted a visit with the 49ers on Monday and is likely to be signed on Tuesday. His elite athleticism—4.39 40-yard dash, 41.5-inch vertical jump, and 11-foot-3-inch broad jump, all in the 90th percentile—positions him to capitalize on the 49ers' banged-up backfield depth chart. He had chunk plays against San Francisco in last preseason (16-yard reception, 18-yard reception) and could stick on the roster or practice squad if he performs in preseason.

Undrafted free agent running back visited by 49ers amid backfield injuries; elite athletic profile with 4.39 40-yard dash, 41.5-inch vertical, and 11-foot-3-inch broad jump—all in 90th percentile; showed chunk-play ability in preseason against 49ers with 16-yard reception after beating Nick Martin and 18-yard gain on broken tackle; positioned to compete for roster spot or practice squad with depleted depth chart (McCaffrey, James, Black, Guerendo out; only Taylor Jr., McCormick, Herbert healthy).
