Ricky Watters

Michael Lev, senior editor of Pro FootballWeekly, wrote in 2000: "Ricky Watters deserves to go to the Hall of Fame. And he shouldn't have to pay to get in. Watters' teams win games. Funny how the 49ers, Eagles and Seahawks made the playoffs despite having a supposed locker-room cancer dragging them down. Watters' reputation for selfishness and immaturity precedes him. No one can forget his alligator-arms maneuver with the Eagles, when he failed to reach for a slightly overthrown pass for fear of getting clocked and basically said afterward, 'Why should I?' But how bad of an influence could Watters have been (especially early in his career) if the teams he played for kept winning?"
