Desmond Watson has always been a massive presence on the Florida Gators’ defensive line, but his latest weigh-in has gained attention across the NFL.

At Florida’s Pro Day, the 6-foot-5 defensive lineman tipped the scales at a staggering 464 pounds, potentially setting him up to become the heaviest player in NFL history if he lands on a roster. Watson’s weight has increased from the 449 pounds listed on his UF bio before his senior season, making his size a more prominent storyline for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Watson’s weight has fluctuated throughout his collegiate career, but it never stopped him from impacting the field. The Florida standout played in 51 games, racking up 63 tackles, including 1.5 sacks. His sheer power and agility for a player of his size made him a disruptive force in the trenches, and now NFL teams are taking notice.

Dominance In The Weight Room And On The Field

While Watson’s weight is making headlines, so is his strength. At Pro Day, he delivered an eye-popping 36 reps on the bench press, more than any player at this year’s NFL Combine. His raw power and endurance have impressed scouts, who now weigh his potential as a late-round draft pick or a highly sought-after undrafted free agent.

Florida fans have watched Watson evolve over the years, from his 380-pound high school days to a dominant force at UF. Under former coach Dan Mullen, he dropped to 400 pounds before steadily climbing back up under Billy Napier. Despite the weight gain, his on-field production never wavered, and moments like his fumble recovery and carrying the ball on offense showed his versatility.
