Iowa DB Jaylen Watson on spring drills

Iowa junior Jaylen Watson has become one of the leaders of an Iowa secondary that lost several key starters from last year’s team that finished 9-4. The junior from Detroit appeared in all 13 games last season and started two. He is a likely starter at corner for a Hawkeye team that is in its second week of spring drills.

Watson says even with several new players in the secondary there is a standard of play to uphold.

Watson says as a veteran he knows what it takes to get on the field for the Hawkeyes.

Watson says spring drills are about competition and individual improvement as compared to preseason camp.
