464-pound defensive tackle Desmond Watson signs with Buccaneers
At six-foot-six and 464 pounds, defensive tackle Desmond Watson would have been the largest draft pick in NFL history. He was not drafted.
Via the Associated Press, Watson has instead signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent.
It’ll be a homecoming for Watson, who grew up 20 minutes from Tampa, in Plant City, Florida.
He played college football for four seasons at the University of Florida, without missing a single game.
Watson knows he needs to lose weight. Since arriving at Gainesville, he has been consistently growing. He started out at 385. He was 415 in his second year. As a junior, he weighed 435. Last year, he was listed at 449. At his Pro Day, he was 15 pounds heavier.
