Tampa is holding Watson out
- Thread starter Mark Wheeler
- Start date
There were reports that he lost 30 pounds post-UF Pro Day, but obviously, he gained that back. He had three months since Tampa signed him to try to get in somewhat decent shape for camp, and didn't do it.
He needs to get this in order now, not for Tampa Bay, but for his life after football.
But he has to be the one to want it.
If there is a single player on last year's team that I hope it works out for, it would be him. He is just the nicest person. I'm not a psychologist, but I would be willing to bet that his family dynamics are a cause of him seeking comfort in food and overeating. Maybe he needs more than a conditioning program. Maybe it is more mental?
I saw him in person a couple of times before he went into his high school senior season, and if he was in the 320-330 range like he was back then, he would have been a terror in college and gone in the top 1-3 rounds.
