At 437 pounds , Desmond Watson could become the heaviest player ever to be picked in the NFL draft.

The current unofficial record for a heavyweight draft pick is 400 pounds .

Watson , 22 , has lost about 26 pounds since Florida ’s pro day on March 27 .

Watson , then a freshman in high school, felt the impact, Woullard said. "Mentally, it just was a big strain," she said. "Things just changed, and I don't think he coped with it well, either.'' "I'm so impressed with him and how he's just taken over himself," she added. "And it's still work to be done, but he's doing a great job. And I can't wait to see where his ending result is going to be.".
