Buccaneers Sign NFL’s Heaviest Player, WatsonAt over 400 pounds, Desmond Watson joins Tampa Bay as they remain undefeated heading into Week 4Desmond Watson, NFL’s Heaviest Player, Joins Buccaneers Practice SquadThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers have added a literal giant to their practice squad: Desmond Watson, the former Florida Gators defensive tackle who tipped the scales at 464 pounds during his pro day, is now officially part of the Bucs’ roster—at least in a developmental role. At 464 pounds, he’s believed to be the heaviest player in NFL history. According to Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles, Watson recently had a good workout with the team last week, which prompted the team to reconsider his potential. Bowles said on Monday that If we bring him in, we think he can play—not just for a Philadelphia thing, referencing the team’s Week 4 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Buccaneers host the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday in a battle of unbeaten teams.
