LSU football wide receiver Jelani Watkins is making a name for himself on the track circuit.
Running at the Tom Jones Invitational in Florida, Watkins posted a time of 10.03 in the 100-meter. The time ranks No. 6 in LSU history and was a career best mark for Watkins.

We simply have to find a way to get Watkins, Anderson, Zayvion and Barion on the field at the same time. It's so much speed
Have to find a way to get them in space

Saw him run at Bernie Moore a few weeks ago in the Battle on the Bayou meet. Ran a wind-aided 10.01 and tied with a guy from USC but finished 2nd on thousandths. If he gets a great start he'll run in the 9.90-9.95 range this season.

Watkins won state in Texas his senior year by running a 10.19. Caden Durham was 3rd and a freshman LSU linebacker this year, Charles Ross, finished 5th with a cast on his arm.

Dakorean Moore was in that race too and at the time was committed to LSU I believe

Any relation to Slip Watkins?

LSU has 3 guys that run sub 10.5 in the 100.

You can’t teach that kind of speed.
Can he catch the ball? Can he move laterally to get separated? If he can be coached to do those two things, life will be good for him and LSU.

I saw his football highlights. Good separation. Kickoff returner too. I didn't see Moore in the race.

I'm not saying design the offense around him but it would be straight up negligence to not have some packages for a guy with literal world class speed by the offensive coordinator
The only and I mean only way it's ok is if the kid fumbles a shite load in practice

We have a vision for him

I bet you Watkins could beat Forrest Gump in a foot race.

We should give ihm a look at DE.

Wish we could get guys with his speed on the field and actually use them correctly.

What does “correctly” mean, exactly?
Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if he never plays football again. He’s eventually gonna have to dedicate his entire time to track and work towards making the next Olympics.

You don't have to find a way. They're freakin fast as hell. Speed creates its own space. Get em on the field BRIAN
