He played college football at James Madison, and was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. High school careerHe attended Simon Gratz High School in Philadelphia, and played high school football for the Gratz Bulldogs. He was a first-team all-city selection as a senior, and was named to the second-team All-Decade Public Team on the defensive line by the Philadelphia News. Watford did not begin playing football until his junior year and played defensive end for Simon Gratz High School.[1] College careerHead coach Mickey Matthews stated that the main reason they recruited Watford was his large size. He was originally recruited as a defensive end, but the coaching staff realized he would be better suited to be an offensive linemen.[1] Watford attended James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where he played for the James Madison Dukes football team from 2008 to 2012. He started in 37 games over his college career, and was a first-team All-Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) selection as a junior in 2011, and again as a senior in 2012. Professional careerOn January 8, 2013, it was announced that Watford had accepted his invitation to play in the 2013 East–West Shrine Game.[1] On January 19, 2013, Watford played for former Atlanta Falcons' head coach Jerry Glanville's East team that lost 28-13 to the West. Watford was one of 57 collegiate offensive linemen to attend the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. He completed all of the combine drills and finished fifth among all offensive linemen in the vertical and ninth in the 40-yard dash.[2] On March 18, 2013, Watford attended James Madison's pro day, but chose to stand on his combine numbers and only perform positional and blocking drills. During the draft process, attended private workouts and meetings with a few teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, and Arizona Cardinals.[3] At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, NFL draft experts and scouts projected Watford would be a fourth or fifth round pick. He was ranked the seventh best offensive guard in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com.[4] {{nfl predraft| height ft = 6 | height in = 3 | weight = 300 | dash = 5.06 | ten split = 1.80 | twenty split = 2.95 | shuttle = 5.00 | cone drill = 7.77 | vertical = 30 | broad ft = 8 | broad in = 11 | bench = 24 | wonderlic = | arm span = 34 | hand span = 10 | note = All values from NFL Combine[5] }} Arizona CardinalsThe Arizona Cardinals selected Watford in the fourth round (116th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.[6] Watford was the 14th player ever selected in the NFL Draft from James Madison. He also became the fourth highest selection in the school's history.[7] Earlier in the draft, the Arizona Cardinals also selected North Carolina's guard Jonathan Cooper in the first round (seventh overall). 2013On June 4, 2013, the Arizona Cardinals signed Watford to a four-year, $2.59 million contract.[10] Throughout training camp, Watford competed against Chilo Rachal, Daryn Colledge, Jonathan Cooper, Paul Fanaika, Mike Gibson, and Senio Kelemete for the starting offensive guard role. Head coach Bruce Arians named Watford the backup offensive guard behind starters Daryn College and Paul Fanaika to begin the regular season.[8] Watford spent the entire {{NFL Year|2013}} season in the bench and was inactive for all 16 regular season games. 2014The following season, Watford competed against Jonathan Cooper for the vacant starting left guard role after the departure of Daryn College to the Miami Dolphins in free agency. Watford and Cooper were named the backup offensive guards behind starters Paul Fanaika and Ted Larsen to start the regular season.[9] On September 18, 2014, he made his professional regular season debut during the Arizona Cardinals' 25-14 victory at the New York Giants. He missed five games during the season (Weeks 8-12) after suffering a high ankle sprain.[10] He finished the season with ten games and zero starts as the Arizona Cardinals finished second in the NFC West with an 11-5 record. On January 3, 2015, Watford played in his first career playoff game as the Arizona Cardinals lost to the Carolina Panthers 27-16 in the NFC Wildcard game.[11] 2015During the off season, the Arizona Cardinals saw the departure of Paul Fanaika, signed free agent guard Mike Iupati, and moved Ted Larsen to center. With Iupati slated as the starting right guard, Watford competed against Jonathan Cooper for the vacant starting left guard position. In an unexpected move, the Arizona Cardinals named Watford the starting right tackle, ahead of Bradley Sowell. He would replace Bobby Massie who was in the midst of serving a two-game suspension after an incident during the week of the Super Bowl.[12] He made his first career start in the Arizona Cardinals' season-opening 31-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints. On December 8, 2015, the Atizona Cardinals placed Watford on injured/reserve after he suffered a hand injury, effectively ending his season.[13] He finished the season with two starts and appeared in eight games. Watford also missed three games during the season (Weeks 6-8). 2016The Arizona Cardinals signed Evan Mathis to be the starting offensive guard opposite Mike Iupati. Watford competed for a backup guard role against Cole Toner. Head coach Bruce Arians named him the backup left guard to Iupati to start the regular season.[14] After starting the season in a reserve role, Watford was named the starting right guard for a Week 3 loss at the Buffalo Bills. Evan Mathis was inactive after suffering a foot injury. Watford was named the starting right guard for the rest of the season prior to the Arizona Cardinals' Week 6 victory over the New York Jets. He replaced Evan Mathis in the lineup after Mathis suffered an ankle injury and was placed on injured/reserve for the remainder of the season.[15] He finished the 2016 season with ten starts in 15 games.[16] Jacksonville JaguarsOn March 11, 2017, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed Watford to a two-year, $6 million contract that included $750,000 guaranteed and a signing bonus of $250,000.[17][18] Throughout training camp, he competed against A. J. Cann and Patrick Omameh for one of the starting guard jobs. Head coach Doug Marrone named Watford the backup to A. J. Cann and Patrick Omameh to start the regular season.[19][20] He was released on September 8, 2017.[21] Arizona Cardinals (second stint)On October 2, 2017, the Arizona Cardinals signed Watford after starting left guard Mike Iupati suffered a triceps injury and was placed on injured reserve. The terms of his contract were for one-year and $775,000.[22][18] Upon arrival, he was named the starting right guard with Alex Boone moving to the left. He started Weeks 5-14, was inactive for 15-16, before returning for the season finale. He finished with a total of ten games and nine starts.[23] Pro Football Focus gave him a 36.7 overall grade, but gave him "high quality" marks for run and pass blocking.[24] Chicago BearsOn April 3, 2018, Watford signed a one-year contract with the Chicago Bears.[25] He was released on August 26, 2018.[26] Cleveland BrownsOn August 28, 2018, Watford was signed by the Cleveland Browns.[27] Tampa Bay BuccaneersOn March 15, 2019, Watford signed a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[28] References1. ^{{cite web| title=Football's Earl Watford to play in East-West Shrine Game| url=http://jmusports.com/news/2013/1/8/Football_s_Earl_Watford_To_Play_in_East_West_Shrine_Game.aspx?path=wten| accessdate=January 10, 2018| website=JMUSports.com}} 2. ^{{cite web| title=2013 NFL combine results: Offensive line 40-yard dash times and more| url=https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/2/25/4029462/nfl-combine-2013-results-offensive-line-40-yard-dash-bench| accessdate=January 11, 2018| website=sbnation.com| author=Mark Sandritter| date=February 25, 2013}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web| title=Former guard Earl Watford likely to be drafted into NFL| url=http://www.breezejmu.org/sports/former-guard-earl-watford-likely-to-be-drafted-into-nfl/article_6c9b7968-ad57-11e2-8146-0019bb30f31a.html| accessdate=January 11, 2018| website=BreezeJMU.com| author=Wayne Epps Jr.| date=April 25, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web| title=Earl Watford, DS #7 OG, James Madison| url=http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=120539&draftyear=2013&genpos=OG| accessdate=January 11, 2018| website=nfldraftscout.com}} 5. ^{{cite web| title=NFL Draft Profile: Earl Watford| url=http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/earl-watford?id=2539242| accessdate=January 10, 2018| website=NFL.com}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.revengeofthebirds.com/2013/4/27/4274946/2013-nfl-draft-results-arizona-cardinals-select-guard-earl-watford |title=2013 NFL Draft results: Arizona Cardinals select guard Earl Watford with the 116th overall pick |publisher=Revenge of the Birds |date= |accessdate=September 5, 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web| title=James Madison: NFL Draft History| url=https://www.footballdb.com/draft/college.html?c=James+Madison| accessdate=January 10, 2018| website=FootballDB.com}} 8. ^{{cite web| title=Arizona Cardinals Roster 2013: Latest Cuts, Depth Charts and Analysis| url=https://www.bleacherreport.com/amp/1751196-arizona-cardinals-roster-2013-latest-cuts-depth-charts-and-analysis.amp.html| accessdate=January 11, 2018| website=BleacherReport.com| author=Tyson Langland| date=August 27, 2013}} 9. ^{{cite web| title=2014 NFL roster cuts: The newest Arizona Cardinals depth chart| url=https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/2014/8/31/6089057/2014-nfl-roster-cuts-the-newest-arizona-cardinals-depth-chart| accessdate=January 11, 2018| website=Revengeofthebirds.com| author=Jess Root| date=August 31, 2014}} 10. ^{{cite web| title=NFL inactives, Cardinals vs. Eagles: Calais Campbell to play, Darren Sproles out| url=https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/platform/amp/2014/10/26/7073677/nfl-inactives-cardinals-vs-eagles-calais-campbell-to-play-darren| accessdate=January 11, 2018| website=revengeofthebirds.com| author=Jess Root| date=October 26, 2015}} 11. ^{{cite web| title=NFL Player stats: Earl Watford (2014)| url=http://www.nfl.com/player/earlwatford/2539242/gamelogs?season=2014| accessdate=January 11, 2018| website=NFL.com}} 12. ^{{cite web| title=It’s Earl Watford’s Job to Lose as Arizona Cardinals’ Fill-in Right Tackle| url=https://www.nflspinzone.com/2015/09/02/earl-watfords-job-lose-arizona-cardinals-fill-right-tackle/amp/| accessdate=January 11, 2018| website=nflspinzone.com| author=Shaun Church}} 13. ^{{cite web| title=NFL roster moves: Arizona Cardinals place Earl Watford on IR, promote D.J.
