According to Jordan Elliott, Watson has met with the 49ers during the draft process this week, which should come as good news for 49ers fans.
Watson's stock has skyrocketed in the early stages of the draft process, with some analysts having tabbed him as the best receiver during the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, as he showcased good route running and hands to go along with his top-end speed at 6'4, 205 pounds.
With a strong combine, Watson could place himself out of the 49ers draft range, if he hasn't already, but the dream pairing of him and Lance in the NFL could be a possibility.
In the past season, Watson proved himself, catching 43 passes for 800 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 18.6 yards per catch as the top wide receiver on the depth chart.
With Lance as his quarterback in 2019, Watson caught 34 passes for 732 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 21.5 yards per catch, while solidifying himself as a high-caliber deep-threat receiver.
