PHILADELPHIA – The #JWatch will move on to a new home next week as Justin Watson will head to Mobile, Ala. for the Reese's Senior Bowl as the All-American wide receiver accepted an invitation on Friday in advance on Saturday's East-West Shrine Game.
 
A five-time All-American and Penn's career record holder in receptions (286), receiving yards (3,777), receiving touchdowns (33) and all-purpose yards (4,116) Watson has been turning heads in St. Petersburg, Fla. at the Shrine Game during practices.
 
NFL scouts have seen some of Watson, and they want to see more. The first player in Ivy League history to catch a pass in all 40 career games, catch a touchdown in 10 consecutive games and record three career 1,000-yard seasons will become the first Quaker since 1998 (Mitch Marrow) and third overall to play in the Senior Bowl on January 27 at 2:30 p.m. EST live on NFL Network.
 
Watson is the first Quaker to be invited to multiple senior All-Star games since Gerald McGinley played in both the Senior Bowl and Shrine Game in 1952.
 
Before making way to Mobile, Watson will play for the East team in the Shrine Game on the NFL Network January 20 at 3 p.m. EST.
