A 464 pound lineman from Florida could be the heaviest draft pick in NFL history. He's 6" 6", can bench 225 36 times, run 40 yards in 5.93 seconds and jump 25" high.

At 464 pounds, Florida's Desmond Watson could become heaviest draft pick in NFL history

That weight will not only catch up to him in the way of injuries but sooner later that will affect his heart and joints. He looks good running etc. He's in shape but even the team was worried having see a nutritionist to lose weight.

Wish him the best of luck.
 

225 lbs is less than 1/2 of his body weight. Benching 1/2 your body weight for 36 reps is not that big a deal. And 5.93 in the 40 is quite a bit slower than average for an NFL lineman. I doubt he'll ever be a starter at that weight.
