East Hall’s Devin Watson didn’t try to dial back his athletic brilliance, even though Monday’s competition against Johnson was just the first of two days in the NFL High School Player Development Camp sponsored by the Atlanta Falcons at East Hall Stadium. After battling on both sides of the football — just like he’ll do in the regular season for the Vikings — Watson stepped in front of a pass on the game’s final play for an interception, then broke out in a big smile giggling as he sprinted the other way, like there were points to be scored on the other side of the field. Afterward, Watson said it’s more fun to play defense in such passing leagues, since the quarterback is required to throw in the 7-on-7 format.
