Who is Todd Watkins? Todd Watkins was a free agent Wide Receiver that the Raiders claimed off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons. He spent the majority of 2007 on the Falcons practice squad. This provides you some background; still doesn't answer the question.
To answer this question we need to go back a little further. In his early years of high school athletics - Todd Watkins was a multi-sport athlete at Helix High School in San Diego, California. He lettered in football, volleyball, soccer and track; he was the first athlete in 25 years to accomplish that feat at Helix High.
As a football player, he earned All-County Honors during his junior and senior seasons. His teammates included current NFL stars Reggie Bush and Alex Smith; the team won the 2000 San Diego Section Division II CIF Football Championship. His teammates had scholarships and were off to USC and University of Utah.
Watkins wasn't as fortunate and enrolled at Norfolk State but redshirted during 2001 season. He later transferred to Grossmont (California) Junior College and played in 10 games during the 2002 season.
