Dekoda Watson joined one of the best defenses in the NFL in March when he signed as a free agent with the Broncos after leaving New England. The veteran linebacker, now 28, was a standout at Florida State before he was drafted by Tampa Bay in 2010.
Watson, who grew up in small-town Aiken, S.C., has traveled a long road through the NFL, including stops with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys. In his short time with the Broncos, Watson has proved to be a force on special teams, nearly blocking two punts against Indianapolis two weeks ago.
