Tampa Bay Buccaneers - English
Desmond Watson, the towering defensive tackle who made headlines as the heaviest player ever to enter the NFL, is proving that size isn’t everything.
Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 464 pounds, Watson‘s journey to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster was remarkable. Despite going undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft, he secured a spot with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent, including a $20,000 signing bonus and $50,000 guaranteed.

A transformative offseason
Upon joining the Buccaneers, Watson committed to improving his conditioning. He set a personal goal to shed 27 pounds before the start of the season.
True to his word, Watson achieved this milestone, showcasing his dedication and discipline. His transformation not only enhances his agility but also positions him as a formidable presence on the defensive line.
Watson‘s weight management journey has been ongoing since his college days at the University of Florida. Starting at 440 pounds in 2021, he fluctuated between 415 and 449 pounds throughout his college career.
Despite these challenges, he remained durable, playing four seasons without missing a game.
Looking ahead
As Watson continues to refine his skills and conditioning, the Buccaneers‘ defensive line looks increasingly formidable. With veteran presence and emerging talent like Watson, the team is poised to make significant strides in the upcoming season.
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Watson‘s unique combination of size, strength, and newfound agility will impact the Buccaneers‘ defensive strategies.
Watson‘s story is a testament to resilience and the power of determination. His journey from an undrafted free agent to a key player on the Buccaneers‘ roster serves as an inspiration to aspiring athletes, proving that with hard work and commitment, one can overcome any obstacle.

Fantasy baseball waiver wire: Brandon Woodruff’s workload raises rest-of-season concerns, and more
I didn't expect Brandon Woodruff to be particularly useful for Fantasy this season, and now I'm faced with an unexpected question: What if I was right? That looked extremely wrong through Woodruff's first six starts of the season, when he had a 2.29 ERA and 45 strikeouts to just three walks in 35.1 innings. Despite his velocity being down nearly 3 mph following shoulder surgery, Woodruff looked as good as ever, generating his typical massive whiff rates with his fastball-heavy approach and generating weak contact like he was still in his prime. Woodruff didn't just look like he hadn't just missed a year-plus with a severe injury – he looked better than ever.Three starts later, and things don't look nearly as rosy. His first start wasn't bad, necessarily, but it was a little worrisome – Woodruff tossed four shutout innings on […]
Priske: Riga měla o víkendu volno, na náš zápas s Duklou koukala z gauče. Odveta bude těžká
Riga (od našeho zpravodaje) - Do studené a deštivé lotyšské metropole přijel Priske se Spartou pro razítko na postup do hlavní fáze Konferenční ligy. Dvoubrankový náskok z Prahy by neměli Pražané prošustrovat. Jenže do odvety půjdou bez pěti zraněných opor v čele s Pavlem Kadeřábkem. „Prostě tady nejsou, v odvetě hrát nebudou,“ pokrčil rameny Priske.Personální problém máte především v obraně. Máte plán, jak vyřešit její složení?Vždycky potřebujete plán B. A myslím, že i plán C a D. V posledním zápase jsme měli smůlu, zranili se tři kluci. Jako trenér vždycky musím myslet trochu dopředu. Prostě musíte být nachystáni na spoustu scénářů.Jste tedy nachystáni?Po Dukle jsem mužstvo pochválil, jak se dobře vypořádalo se změnami v sestavě a změnou rozestavění. Kluci zahráli výborně i na pozicích, na kterých nejsou zvyklí. Adaptovali se na neobvyklou situaci. To samé očekávám v odvetě.Co v ní ještě očekáváme?Další těžký zápas. Stojí proti nám dobrý soupeř, který má vysokou intenzitu hry, má […]
Steelers’ Aaron Rodgers sends message to Jets fans ahead of Week 1 showdown: ‘I’m sorry it didn’t work out’
Aaron Rodgers was hoping to give the Vince Lombardi Trophy the Jets won after winning Super Bowl III some company when he joined the team two years ago. Rodgers instead endured two challenging seasons with the Jets that ended in an unceremonious fashion. Rodgers, who signed with the Steelers this offseason after he was released by the Jets, was recently asked what message he would give to New York's fan base. Rodgers and the Steelers will travel to New York to face the Jets in Week 1 of the 2025 regular season. "I really embraced my time there and put as much as myself into it as I possibly could," Rodgers said on Adam Schein's radio show. "I really wanted to win there. I really did. I have a lot of appreciation for the special moments. There weren't a ton of them, […]
Fantasy Football: Raiders sign Amari Cooper amid Jakobi Meyers trade request
There was a lot of news with the Raiders on Monday, and we might not be done talking about them prior to Week 1. Amari Cooper signed a one-year deal with Las Vegas, while the NFL Network reported that Jakobi Meyers has requested a trade because he's unhappy with his contract. The Raiders also traded for quarterback Kenny Pickett, but that's a fantasy-worthy story -- for now. The receivers matter to us, and we'll work off the current depth chart, which includes Meyers, Cooper, Dont'e Thornton Jr., Jack Bech, and Tre Tucker as the top five options. If everyone remains with the team this season, then I still like Meyers the best, but his value is on the decline. He's coming off a career-best season in 2024 at 14.5 PPR points per game, and he also averaged 13.8 PPR points […]

GLOSA: Pomsta jako klacek na média
