NFL Draft Nears Selection of Historic Heaviest Player, Dez Watson

Desmond Watson, a 6-foot-6, 464-pound defensive tackle from the University of Florida, is aiming to become the heaviest player in NFL history if selected in the upcoming draft. His impressive performance at the NFL combine, where he showcased extraordinary agility for his size with a 40-yard dash time under six seconds and 36 repetitions of 225 pounds, has drawn significant attention from scouts. Meanwhile, Derrick Harmon, who transferred from Michigan State to Oregon, has also made a strong case for his NFL prospects, leading all FBS defensive tackles in QB pressures and earning All-American honors. Both players highlight a trend of larger, athletic prospects entering the league, with Watson's potential selection expected to break records. The Buffalo Bills are reportedly interested in both players, as they look to strengthen their roster ahead of the draft. As the league evolves, the presence of such unique talents could reshape traditional expectations of player physiques in football.
