Ravens were persuasive and aggressive in signing Benjamin Watson
The Ravens wanted their man badly.It was sort of love at first sight for Ozzie Newsome and Benjamin Watson. While scouting this year's free agent class, Newsome says he only had to watch a handful of plays on tape of Watson to know that he was their guy.
"After the first 10 plays, I go, ‘That’s the guy we want,’" Newsome said. "We already knew about the intangibles, but to see him, how productive he was on the field, I knew he was the guy we should target."
It's quite impressive that just a few minutes of tape were able to win over the Hall of Fame tight end Newsome, who is one of the greatest ever to play the position.
