Football: Potomac Falls Prospect Watson Gets Advice from Panther Grad and NFL New York Giant Adrian Tracy

Sterling (March 2, 2012) - New York Giants defensive end/linebacker Adrian Tracy took time on Friday to visit his high school, Potomac Falls, and he not only sat down with VivaLoudoun and the school newspaper for an interview but he gave up and coming Panther prospect Kareen Watson some advice on the recruiting game.

Tracy was a standout basketball and football player at Potomac Falls and passed up offers to play college basketball to walk onto the football team at William and Mary. He worked his way to becoming one of the top defensive linemen in the nation and was drafted by the New York Giants.

He spent 2010 on IR after an injury in preseason and spent last year on the Practice Squad after being one of the team's final cuts out of training camp. This year Tracy is determined to make the full roster. (We will have more later on Tracy's interview).

The 6-3, 190-pound Watson set a school record with 13 receptions in one game last year. On defense he played at end, linebacker and rover. Tracy is the not the first NFL player that Watson has gotten help from as he is trained by former NFL players Eddie Mason and Chris Samuels and he also works with current NFL players Rob Jackson and Darrel Young. Watson has clocked a 4.49 time in the 40.
