TAMPA, Fla. -- At times, Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive tackle Desmond Watson said his life "feels like a movie."
His story comes with a unique twist. At 6-foot-6 and a listed weight of 449 pounds, he's officially the heaviest player in NFL history, but he won't let that define him.
He grew up in Plant City, Florida, and played collegiately at Florida for four years before signing as an undrafted free agent with the Buccaneers. He played his final college game -- the Gasparilla Bowl -- at the Bucs' Raymond James Stadium.
