Watson reminds me of Morrow

Not the fastest back you'll ever see...but makes plays.

No Jamal Morrow, no win over Boise State or USC.

Watson isn’t there yet imho, Morrow would claw and spin his way to impossible first downs at critical points in games. A ton of heart. Great hands too. Never thought he got the hype he deserved. Heard he’s doing well in Canada too.

IMO Morrow was the best back we've had in the last 17 some years (since Jerome Harrison). He should have gotten more touches. The only issue is he played when we had a lot of depth, and with other solid backs on the team.

From Soph-Senior year (6.5, 6.4, 6.1) he averaged approximately 6.3 yards a carry and 9 yards per reception. Our offense always moved better when he was in the game.

If I were to compare Watson to anyone recent, it would be Gerard Wicks.....but maybe a little bigger and better.

Didn't realize he was in the CFL, looking at these stats they used him for rushing, receiving, kickoff and punt returns, a lot of all purpose yards

Jamal Morrow stats in CFL Saskatchewan Roughriders

I want to make it clear that I don't think Watson is as good as Morrow. Just that he reminds me of him in that he isn't the fastest guy around but makes plays.

As was mentioned previously, Morrow was probably out best back since Harrison and someone who should have gotten the ball more(as should have Wicks)
