The Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ rookie camp has kicked off with a bang, and it stars Desmond Watson and Shilo Sanders. In a video all over social media, Watson, a huge 437-pound defensive player, pulls a golf cart with no sweat, using just raw power. Sanders stands by, amazed, then tries to do the same, but he just simply cannot.
Watson’s wild strength has caught the eye of fans and experts. As one of the biggest guys in the NFL, his time at the Buccaneers’ camp is getting a lot of looks. But it’s not only his size that stands out, he’s also been cutting weight, losing 27 pounds since his Pro Day. His moves in drills show he’s quick, not just large.
Shilo and Desmond desire to succeed
Sanders, son of the famous Deion Sanders, wants to make his own name in the NFL. Though he didn’t match Watson’s might, he’s shining in other ways. From fast moves in drills to his fun vibe off the field, Sanders is loving the rookie life. His first try at golf wasn’t perfect, but it made his teammates laugh.
As the camp goes on, both players aim to leave a mark, through fun clips or big plays. For now, Watson’s pure power is the main event, and fans can’t wait to see what the new Buccaneers will add to the next season.
Desmond is already breaking records
As we mentioned in mid May, Watson now holds the distinction of being the heaviest player in league history, but he’s determined not to let that label overshadow his on-field aspirations.
“It’s nice to be able to make history, but all in all, I am a football player,” he said.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles echoed that sentiment, making it clear that Watson’s roster spot wasn’t handed out for novelty.
“We didn’t get him for the push push. We got him because we really thought he could play,” Bowles said. “We just have to get him to where he can play more than two or three plays a down.“
Promising season for the Buccaneers
As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gear up for the 2025 NFL year, they stand at a key point-set for a win but with big doubts. With quarterback Baker Mayfield back after a good year, the attack side stays strong. The new guy, Emeka Egbuka, joins top catchers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, making a tough team stronger. If Mayfield keeps up his good play, the Buccaneers’ attack could be one of the top in the game.
Yet, defense is still a worry. Even though Todd Bowles has made new plans and brought in fresh players, last year’s troubles make people wonder. The new guy, Haason Reddick, brings hope for a better rush at the other team’s passer, but he missed OTAs, making folks wonder about his quick effect.
With big hopes and lasting doubts, Tampa Bay steps into the season with both hope and stress. The next few months will show if they turn into real fighters-or a team still finding its way.
