Former Patriots tight end Ben Watson has confidence in QB Jarrett Stidham: 'Has all that there needs' to be successful

Former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson had positive things to say about Tom Brady’s potential future successor.

Watson, who suited up for the New England Patriots from 2004 to 2009, returned to the franchise last season for one more go-round. He recently talked about his time playing with quarterback Jarrett Stidham.

Stidham, a fourth-round draft pick who will be entering his second year in the NFL, will have a tough task ahead of him if he is asked to fill the shoes of the greatest quarterback of all time.
