Dan Campbell wasn't surprised one bit that former Saints tight Ben Watson unretired and decided to play another season, this one with the New England Patriots.
"No, because Ben is a freak," said Campbell, the Saints tight end coach. "He is amazing in how he takes care of his body and God has blessed him."
Saints' left tackle Terron Armstead compared Watson's physique to that of an action figure hero.
Fortunately for Campbell, the Saints will get to replace one freak of a tight end with another, which bodes well for a team desperately seeking more pass catching weapons not named Michael Thomas on its roster.
