Cox said Watson has the potential to be a force up front because of his size, strength and ability to occupy blockers. In the weight room, Watson said his maximum bench press is 520 pounds and max squat is 720 pounds.
“That guy going forward, he’s just a wrecking ball,” Cox said.
In addition to Watson’s size and strength, Cox said he’s surprisingly nimble as well.
“He’s really quick,” Cox said. “People wouldn’t think that. He walks around a little slow, but he’s really quick on the field. His first two steps are amazing.”
Here’s what Watson looks like on the field.

Unfortunately, Watson can’t play every down due to his size but he says he’s working on slimming down to get more playing time.
“I’m getting rewarded, as far as, you know, getting play time,” Watson said. “So getting down, getting in the right condition, I feel like that’s motivation for me to get the weight down and keep it going.”
