Signed a four-year contract with the 49ers in May of 2025.
Final pick of fourth round
The 49ers selected Watkins in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 138th overall.
ANALYSIS
Watkins was overshadowed by bigger names in the wide receiver corps at Ole Miss throughout his time in college, but he was still a significant contributor. He tied for the SEC lead in touchdown receptions with nine in 2024 and was also productive as a punt returner during his time with the Rebels. Watkins is likely to be buried on the depth chart even with the 49ers losing Deebo Samuel and potentially being without Brandon Aiyuk (knee) to begin the season, but he should have a chance to make the roster as a special-teams contributor.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Consistent role in Niners' offense?
Jacob Robinson of The Athletic relays that Watkins has an opportunity early in the season to establish a consistent role for himself in the 49ers' offense.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers are not expecting Brandon Aiyuk to be ready for the start of training camp, and DeMarcus Robinson is facing a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. With Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall set to start the season as the top two wideouts, Watkins and sophomore Jacob Cowing are seemingly headed toward a training-camp battle to earn meaningful snaps in the offense. Watkins, the 49ers' fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, finished his final season in Ole Miss with 49 catches for 906 yards and an SEC-leading nine touchdowns.
