At six feet six inch and 464 pounds, the defensive platform Desmond Watson would have been the The greatest choice of draft of the history of the NFL. He was not written.
Via the Associated PressWatson has instead Signed with the Buccaneers As a free agent not drafted.
It will be a return for Watson, who grew up 20 minutes from Tampa, Plant City, Florida.
He played university football for four seasons at the University of Florida, without missing a single match.
Watson knows he needs to lose weight. Since his arrival in Gainesville, he has constantly grew up. He started at 385. He was 415 years old in his second year. As a junior, he weighed 435. Last year, he was registered at 449. In his professional day, he was 15 more pounds.
He also pressed 225 pounds 36 times that day, more than anyone was invited to the combination of scouts.
Bucs already have a defensive tackle of 347 pounds in Vita Vea.
Watson also played a little rear. He had an attempt to precipitate, for a gain from a yard.
Forty years after 350 pounds William “The Refrigerator” Perry took the league as a periodic offensive option for the 1985 Bears, Watson could perhaps have the chance to do the same. (Desmond “The Walk-in Cooler” Watson has a beautiful ring.)
First, Watson will have to do the team. He will have the chance to do this in Tampa.
