Falcons' Xavier Watts tying Deion Sanders' record proves he's one of the bigger steals of 2025 NFL draft
Watts (pick No. 96) has five interceptions in 16 games, tied for the second most in the NFL. He has also tied Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back Sanders' franchise record for most interceptions by a rookie. The No. 5 pick of the 1989 draft logged five interceptions in 15 games during his rookie season.
The Atlanta Falcons' 2025 draft class is looking better with each passing week, and third-round pick Xavier Watts might be the biggest steal of the entire class. The rookie safety intercepted Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford twice on Monday night to propel the Falcons to a 27-24 victory.
