Gonna be honest, didn't watch video (at work <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" data-shortname=":p" /> ) but watched him with Florida a fair bit this season. For his size, dude is freakishly athletic. He did 36 reps on bench which I think would be best at the combine this year... Had a vertical of 25" which is of course... not great. BUT for some context, for instance you could take Alfred Collins who is a highly rated DT prospect (I am seeing perhaps 2nd-3rd round?) He weighs about 130lbs less than Watson (330lb) and his vert was only 26". As a sophomore he had a bench max of 520lb and squad of 720lb... And in hearing him talk he is definitely aware his weight is also an issue. He says he's really trying to put in work to get it down but admits it's a big struggle (and probably will be for the future too). I don't know the guy but I think he would agree (and has more or less said as much) he just deals with food addiction in the same way others deal with drugs, gambling, alcohol, etc. So that's a big hurdle to get over. But I like to think if you could get him on an NFL roster and very carefully monitor/control intake to get that under control, you might really have something...(But, then again, it's also not like a school like Florida is lacking for resources when it comes to training/nutrition/etc. It was offered, just not really taken advantage of. But maybe if there are some financial motivators tied to it, things might be different...)</blockquote>
