Tampa, FL. – The goal of Desmond Watson is to forget about his size and see him for his unique big-man talent.
It is hard to ignore the heaviest player in NFL history.
Watson’s journey to the Tampa Bay Boons of Tampa Bookie started this weekend this weekend at the team’s rookie camp. Since weighing 464 pounds in the scouting combination of the league, he has already dropped between £ 25-30 and he has been planning to lose further.
Watson said Saturday, “This is a good story, but I don’t want it to be my narrative.” “I want to be known as a football player and a good football player in it. But my idea is good to make history.”
A 6 -foot -6 defensive tackle from Florida is working with nutritionists and they have not yet determined the weight of the ideal game for him.
Watson said Saturday, “It’s still a job.” “There is a way to go. Where do I play the best, we are going to see where I feel the best.”
Watson had been infrastructure last month before his suburban team signed him as a free agent. He could not stop laughing while meeting the journalists before the second day of practice.
Watson said, “I’m happy. It’s a dream true. I can do nothing but laughter.” “My life feels like a movie you couldn’t write a script where a person goes from Little League to high school to college (NFL) (NFL) does not go out of the state.”
Watson, about 20 miles away from Raymond James Stadium, said he had never seen the snow yet. He is eager to learn from other big guy from Vita VA to the defense of £ 346. Watson briefly met with the two-time Pro bowler and exchanged a handshake.
One of the leading defensive players in the league against VEA Run and Watson wants to be a “dominant run-stopper”.
Watson said, “Your position is in the group after the leader and the veterinarian you are looking for and in a position to model your game, I feel like I’m blessed,” Watson said.
Buchaniers coach Tod Bols Watson was fascinated by the first day but warned that he had to go a long way.
“He was looking just as impressive as before now, so he is a huge man. He got a lot of size,” said Bols. “He has to make the team, first of all. Now, now we have to see how long he can stay in the field and (we) in a program where we think he can make some progress. I think this is the biggest thing for us to do right now. We didn’t want to tell him, ‘Hey, we have to keep you in the field.’ This is, ‘Hey, we can try to keep you in this program and see what we can bring in and we can become our best player at this moment and we can’t make him more because we can play him.
Watson’s size and affectionate personality made him a favorite of fans. He has a lot of supporters to create and influence the team.
Watson said “I felt love.” “Basically because it is not heard, I think people are leaning towards me. My whole life was as much energy as I carry my whole life. I appreciate it.”
Watson submerged NFL scouts last month to re-publish 225 pounds about 36 times, which was at the top of a bench-press performance in this year’s Cambine. He kept the 40-yage dash in 5.93 seconds and recorded 25 inches in a vertical jump.
Watson finished his collegiate career with 63 tacoles and 1 1/2 sack. He involuntarily carried the ball for 1 yard profit, and in December, Gasparilla stood in the fullback line for several more plays against Bowl compare.
“It was special,” Watson told about her carrying. “Many of my supporters were trying to do it to me and the coaching workers. I was always against it, but to finish my college career I thought I had to give me what they wanted to see.”
