Desmond Watson, a 464-pound lineman from Florida, has signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent, marking a significant step in his potential NFL career.

Dubbed the 'Tush Push Terminator', Watson is expected to counter the popular quarterback sneak-variation, showcasing not just his size but also his defensive techniques.

Standing at 6-foot-6, Watson impressed onlookers at his Pro Day by running the 40-yard dash in 5.93 seconds and achieving a vertical jump of 25 inches, underlining his athletic prowess.

Florida coach Billy Napier has described Watson as a 'unicorn' due to his extraordinary size and potential, predicting that such a player is unlikely to be encountered again in a typical coaching career.

The Buccaneers are prepared to offer Watson ample opportunities to prove himself on the field, driven by his unparalleled stature and the potential impact he could have on the team's defensive strategy.

Watson's journey to the NFL is closely watched by fans who hope to see him make history as the heaviest player in the league, and if he can disrupt the 'tush push', it would be a celebrated achievement.

Despite his size, Watson is working towards a target weight as suggested by some NFL teams, indicating his commitment to adapting and succeeding in the professional arena.

Desmond Watson has a chance to be the heaviest player to ever appear in an NFL game.

The full measurables for Watson go 6-foot-6, 464 pounds.

Watson is an incredible athlete for his size. At that Pro Day, he also ran the 40-yard dash in 5.93 seconds and vertical jumped 25 inches.

Watson told The Athletic that some NFL teams have given him a target weight, and he's trying to drop just a bit.

“He’s a unicorn,” Florida coach Billy Napier told reporters at the team’s pro day. “You’ll go the rest of your career, and you’ll never be around a guy that’s that stature.”

There's never been an NFL player like Watson, but that doesn't mean he can't make it.

In fact, the Buccaneers might give him all the chances in the world to make it just because he's so unique.

Football fans everywhere will be rooting for Watson. If he can make it onto an NFL field, it'll be an unprecedented day in the league's history. And if he terminates a frustrating tush push or two along the way, neutral fans won't have a problem with that at all.
