Watson played university football in Florida and was not recruited in spring. He joined the Buccaneers as a non -recruited free agent. It was included in 464 pounds on the professional day of the school in April and lost 25 to 30 pounds before the draft.
However, he could not see the practice time because he did not lose enough weight. The training camp passed in the list of injuries that are not football.
“He is still working. Job is not over,” said Watson agent, Ex González, to The Associated Press.
