The NFL could reach new numbers this year, but not exactly in a way one would initially think. Desmond Watson, a 464-pound defensive tackle and hopeful Day 3 pick in April’s NFL Draft, could become the heaviest player ever drafted and to play in league history following his impressive performance in Florida’s pro day on Thursday. Standing at 6-foot-6, Watson had players and coaches in awe as he benched 225 pounds for a stunning 36 times, which easily topped any bench-press mark at this year’s NFL combine.
