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... Watkins turtled up on his first kickoff return when he was about to get tackled... you're left wondering whether Watkins is worth investing in, or if you should listen to the signs he's telling you and move on.

Watkins' contact avoidance and effort concerns signal bust risk; move on

Jordan Watkins showed preseason production in box scores but upon closer evaluation raises serious concerns about his NFL viability with the 49ers; the source cites multiple exposures of him shying away from contact or failing to produce through contact, including turtling up on a kickoff return and failing to block aggressively, suggesting he may not be worth investing in.
