Where is Ben Watson, timeless tight end who made Patriots’ ultimate hustle play?

Remember Ben Watson, the former New England Patriots tight end who seemingly played forever? A former first-round pick and Super Bowl champ, Watson is remembered for his hustle play in the 2005 playoffs.

Following a Tom Brady interception at the goal line, Watson hustled the length of the field to track down cornerback Champ Bailey just short of the opposite goal line to save a touchdown. (You can watch the play here.)

Watson played until age 39, an unusually long career for a tight end.

Let’s check in to see what Watson is doing now.
