Tampa Bay Buccaneers - English
When Desmond Watson first stepped onto the field at Florida, his size made headlines. Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing a colossal 464 pounds, he was one of the most physically dominant players in college football.
Now, as he begins his professional journey with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Watson is turning heads for his dedication to self-improvement.
Shedeur Sanders creates the best draft room ever with a egocentric message on it
Watson recently revealed that he has trimmed down by 27 pounds, currently tipping the scales at 437. While he still boasts an imposing frame, the weight loss represents a renewed commitment to longevity and excellence in the NFL.
A fresh start in Tampa
Can Tyreek Hill Make a Significant Comeback in 2025?
At rookie minicamp, Watson wore his new No. 56 jersey with pride. This wasn’t just about participating-it was about making a statement. Shedding weight was not merely an aesthetic goal but a strategic decision that aligns with the demands of professional football.
The shift signals that Watson understands the evolving expectations for linemen, where mobility and stamina are just as crucial as brute strength.
Watson‘s journey hasn’t followed a standard script. At Florida, he was a fan favorite, both for his larger-than-life presence and his raw ability to disrupt plays in the trenches. However, critics often wondered whether his weight might limit his future in the pros. Watson took that feedback to heart.
Understanding that his potential could only be fully unlocked through better conditioning, he began transforming his body. Coaches at Florida helped lay the foundation, but since declaring for the draft, Watson has ramped up his fitness efforts, embracing the challenge of becoming a more complete player.
In Tampa Bay, Watson enters a defensive unit known for its toughness and depth. But his unique blend of size and improving agility offers something different. If he continues on this trajectory, Watson could fill a niche role on the defensive line-clogging lanes, eating up double teams, and providing fresh energy in rotation packages.
With veteran players ahead of him on the depth chart, Watson has the benefit of time and guidance. The Bucs coaching staff, already impressed by his early conditioning progress, is reportedly optimistic about his potential to develop into a meaningful contributor over the next year or two.

Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images The Colorado Rockies are 6-32 and owners of a seven-game losing streak, however they delivered a reminder to the San Diego Padres on Friday night that no lead is safe at Coors Field. "You have to lock in and stay focused for all nine innings in this ballpark," San Diego designated hitter Gavin Sheets said after his team squandered most of a 13-2 lead in the eighth inning before walking away with a 13-9 decision. The Padres will attempt to make things a little easier on themselves Saturday night when they try for a series win against Colorado in Denver. San Diego reached […]

Shedeur Sanders didn't need to go No. 1 overall. He wasn't chasing a viral draft night moment or a flashy entrance in a custom suit.

Cam Ward went first overall. Then came Jaxson Dart, snatched up by the Giants in a surprise trade-up. Sanders? He waited. And waited.

The lawsuit alleges the NFL colluded against Sanders to sink his draft stock, citing a violation […]
Matthew Lugo likely to get longer look as Angels host Orioles

Mandatory Credit: Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images The Los Angeles Angels likely will give another opportunity to a young player with considerable potential when they host the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif. Outfielder Matthew Lugo was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, his 24th birthday. He likely will make his first major league start on either Saturday or Sunday.

The Angels are hoping Lugo realizes the promise that shortstop Zach Neto and catcher Logan O'Hoppe have shown so far […]
