NFL Draft: The biggest player in the class is also the strongest
If you can believe it, there’s a 464-pound defensive tackle in the 2025 draft class. Florida’s defensive tackle Desmond Watson, who wasn’t invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this year, has been a four-year contributor for the Gators and hasn’t missed a game in his college career. On Thursday, he weighed in at 6’6” and 464 pounds during Florida’s pro day.
As you can imagine, he’s more of a space eater than a penetrator. The nose tackle posted just 1.5 sacks and 4 tackles for losses in his college career, but he posted run-defending grades of over 80 in both 2024 and 2022, according to Pro Football Focus. Just don’t go expecting him to make a difference versus the pass.
