Watts went undrafted in 2024 out of UCONN and spent his first two seasons with the New York Jets. During that span, he played 334 defensive snaps, totaling six quarterback pressures and 23 tackles, according to PFF.

Listed at 6-5, 277 pounds, Watts totaled 72 pressures during his final two seasons at UCONN (2022-23).

Without Key, Jaylahn Tuimoloau likely steps into the starting role with Laiatu Latu,

while rookies Caden Curry and George Gumbs will be tasked with larger roles.
