About Damon Watts

Born 1972. Damon Watts is an American american football player.

Damon Shanel Watts (born April 8, 1972) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Indiana Hoosiers.

Watts was a three-year starter at Indiana University Bloomington. He signed with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 1994. Watts was immediately inserted into the starting lineup as a nickel back in the season opener and started seven additional games at left cornerback before he was benched in favor of Ray Buchanan, the team's free safety, in the fourth quarter of a game against the Miami Dolphins.

Watts regained his starting spot in 1997 after Buchanan signed with the Atlanta Falcons, opening the season at right cornerback against the Miami Dolphins. After watching a life-threatening spinal cord injury to Detroit Lions player Reggie Brown on television, Watts decided to retire from the game, deciding that it was "not worth the risk."

Watts currently resides in Broward County Florida with his wife Dawn Watts and now works as the Middle School Dean of Students at North Broward Prep.
