Birthday December 18, 1980 which means we will have a TE at 38 when we make it to the end of the season and playoffs.

Doesn't sound like the best thing.

And most likely in better physical condition than every other player on the roster. Brees is a freak.

38 year old TE against 12 year younger LBs can't be good. Quit spinning like CNN.

I dont care how old he is, if he's still in shape.

I can guarantee you he'll be among the smartest guys on the field, who
will be in the right place, the right time, and use the right technique.

BW is a GREAT re-addition to the team.

At 38, Ben Watson was better than all of the Saints’ tight ends on that critical third down last season, converting seven of his fifteen targets.

The young bucks needs to hang out with Ben all camp & learn how to become a Pro on and off the field.

Attitude reflects leadership.

Ben is a young 38. Hes was a role player for several years in his career, not out there being featured and taking a pounding like the Kelce or Gronk's of the world. Most guys in Ben's shoes would be out of the league by now because they couldn't handle being in a lesser role for long periods of time. It's a testament to Ben's positivity and love of football.

He's probably the second best locker room guy on the team behind Drew. I watched him on an interview and he never stops giving his time and money to those less fortunate. I'm so glad he's back. He really classes up the joint! :wink:
