4.14 Arizona Outlaws - RB Terrell Watson

In the real world: The Cincinnati Bengals signed Watson as an undrafted free agent out of Azusa Pacific, best known as the school that brought you "The Nigerian Nightmare," Christian Okoye. He broke just about every one of Okoye's school records. The time he ran in the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day (4.51 seconds) is really fast considering his size (6'2", 240).  In Cincy, he'll be competing with Cedric Peerman and Rex Burkhead for whatever scraps Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard leave behind.
In the TUFF world: It'll be interesting to see how Watson fares against NFL defensive players, who are much larger and faster than what he faced at Azusa Pacific.  In the span of the last fifteen picks (3.16 through 4.14), seven were undrafted free agent running backs. That just goes to show you how high the demand for running backs is when your league has 16 teams and requires that you start two RBs every week.
