2015 NFL Draft Sleepers
5) Terrell Watson, Azusa Pacific RB
This division-II prospect should get a legitimate shot at making an NFL roster. He is one of the more powerful rushers in the draft, and has quickness to match, although this was amplified by playing against a lower level of talent compared to other backs. Nonetheless, his achievements are impressive (from school webpage).
- 1 NCAA Division II record, 25 GNAC records, 20 Azusa Pacific records
- Azusa Pacific & GNAC single-season rushing record (2014, 2,153 yards)
- Azusa Pacific career rushing record (2011-14: 5,756 yards)
- GNAC career (3 years) rushing record (2012-14: 5,059 yards)
- Azusa Pacific single-game rushing record (11/15/14, 338 yds vs. Menlo)
- NCAA Division II record (most rushing yards, half): 259 yards vs. Menlo (11/15/14)
- Azusa Pacific & GNAC single-game rushing TDs (5 TDs, three times: 10/12/13, 10/18/14, 11/15/14)
- Azusa Pacific & GNAC single-season rushing TDs (2014, 29 TDs)
Also from the school, here is a great video on who he is as a person and as a player.
He doesn’t have the breakaway speed, or the experience at the D-1 level, but he has the potential to be a productive back in the league.
