An under-the-radar prospect, Ryan Watson continues to impress NFL teams. The linebacker out of Air Force had another private workout with an NFL team this week.
Watson worked out with the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday, a source tells Sporting News. Reports also linked Watson to a workout with the Green Bay Packers earlier in the week.

Watson, who has the potential to line up as a defensive end in passing situations, had a productive senior season at Air Force, including a game against Utah State in which he had three sacks.
An All-Mountain West selection, Watson's upside is intriguing. He ran a 4.74 40-yard dash at his Pro Day, a respectable number, but his production is what has teams going so far as to bring him in for private workouts.
Watson led the Mountain West in both sacks per game and tackles for loss.
He's from Conyers, Ga., which is about 20 miles east of Atlanta.
