He even has a nickname
He is 6-foot-6 and 464 pounds, moves really well considering, and he will be available on Day 3 of the NFL Draft this week. Meet defensive tackle Desmond Watson from the University of Florida, aka the “Tush Push Terminator.”
“I’m ready for it,” Watson said in a phone interview. “I am one of the best run-stoppers out there, and it’s not just because of what I am packing. There is some technique there, too.”
Keep in mind people are focusing on his weight but he does understand attacking the outside shoulder of OL to hit his gap and he is 6'6 where he has shown he can disrupt passing lanes by deflecting passes. There may be questions about how much leverage he can generate with lower pad level being that tall but overall if he sticks to NFL weight training regiment he has a shot to stick around.
If he did stick around we'd have interesting goal line D.
and maybe he could compete with Vea for goal line FB . . . catch a pass in the EZ, maybe?
He could be a real find at a position that’s hard to find studs.
I hope he can produce, would be a great story and find…but for now I’m just curious.
