From the article

Jordan Watkins is the kind of player who has preseason production in the box score, but once you go under the hood and focus on him, I'm not sure he's an NFL player. Not for the 49ers, at least...there were too many exposures during the preseason of him either shying away from contact or failing to produce through contact.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Watkins' contact avoidance and blocking failures raise questions about NFL viability.

Jordan Watkins generated preseason box-score production but showed concerning tape issues upon detailed review: he shied away from contact, failed to produce through contact, turtled up on a kickoff return when about to be tackled, and missed a blocking opportunity on a safety instead of being the aggressor. The source questions whether Watkins is an NFL player for the 49ers, suggesting the preseason signs indicate he should be moved on from.
