Could this Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ rookie defensive line be the answer to stop the dreaded game of “Tush Push” of the Philadelphia Eagles?
Desmond Watson would have made the history of the NFL draft as the heaviest player to be taken in 464 pounds with a frame of 6 feet and 6 inches, but the Burs quickly added it as one of its 15 signings of free free agents.
It has been coined “The Tush Push Terminator” due to its ability to fill the scrimmage line, and it was a show to see in the team’s rookie mini -family.

Watson has already been reducing weight while trying to make the list of the BUCs, reaching 437 pounds for mini -family.
Before the draft, Watson discussed his understanding that he would need to reduce weight to make his NFL dream.
He said that stopping to eat while driving has been a main reason why he won so much weight during his time with the Florida Gators.

“Stop while driving,” Watson said when asked about the bad habits he tried to throw in his professional day. “The most important thing is to move on, get where I need to get. There are stores and many temptations. That has helped me immensely: do not enter the service station. Pay in the pump. Because inside, they are sandwiches and all kinds of things like that. Do not stop. If you are on the road, stay on the road until you are going to go.”
The heaviest player of the NFL last season was the offensive Tackle of the Baltimore Ravens, Daniel Faalele, with 6 feet 8 and 380 pounds. And although there is no official record for the heaviest player in the NFL, many agree that he was former Chicago Bears Aaron Gibson, who weighed 410 pounds during his career between 1999 and 2004.

Watson said he is trying to eat better, especially when it comes to snacks. They have been recently peanuts and almonds, and their main meals have also changed.
If Watson made the list of the BUCS, they would have a fairly formidable defensive interior, especially with their model to follow, Vita See, doing what the rookie expects in the NFL.
With 347 pounds, Vea’s athletics is a show to contemplate the day of the game, since she swallows field seafood and runners equally with her ability to penetrate the field in the field of the nose.
Watson does not have the athletics of Va, but can move through its size. He would also have established the NFL Banking Press record combine if he were present, since he represented 225 pounds 36 times on the professional day of Florida.

And considering that NFL owners are expected to discuss a possible prohibition of it later this low season, having a duo like that inside could be the antidote for defenses that stop the game of short yards that the teams are trying to replicate from the eagles.
Watson also hopes to play for the team that grew near, since it is from Plant City, which is east of Tampa.
