Detroit Lions eye Notre Dame safety Xavier Watts in 2025 NFL Draft

sportingnews.com

The Detroit Lions are 12-1 and leading the NFC North after a win against the Green Bay Packers. Their defense, particularly the safety duo of Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph, has improved significantly from last season. Looking ahead, the Lions may select Notre Dame safety Xavier Watts in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Watts has excelled in college, recording 12 interceptions and allowing a low completion rate this year. Watts is known for his versatility, playing both free safety and in the box. His addition could enhance the Lions' already strong secondary and potentially replace Joseph if he leaves in free agency.
