I can honestly say I don't know a ton about Watson, but from what I remember and what I've seen he's always been the definition of solid. I didn't think he was fast though, could be wrong? I remember him being on the much bigger side of TEs though.

Does he have that speed to stretch a D?

I've been saying this in all my random saints discussions lately. I think BW makes the biggest impact of any new player this year. I guess its a little less surprising a claim now that butler is gone.

Look what we did with David f'ing Thomas to the opposite of jimmy graham.

If this guy has anything left in the tank; he could possibly have the best year of his career.

I believe he ran around a 4.5 forty coming out of college and he still has a lot of weight room records for patriot tight ends. He may have lost a step but if he still has any of that athleticism look out

He won't be used to stretch defenses, that's Graham's job. Watson will play with the LBs on curls and crossing routes, find the zone and settle down. Graham's job is to get up the seam and for the S or the LB into a high-low situation.

It should be a faptastic combination.
