Here’s good news for Georgia Bulldogs fans and New Orleans Saints faithful: Benjamin Watson will soon make his broadcasting debut with the SEC Network, ESPN announced Wednesday. Watson retired from the NFL following the 2019 season, which he spent with the New England Patriots — the team that drafted him 15 years earlier out of Georgia.
Now, he’ll be joining the SEC Network studio on Saturdays in the fall to share his take on each week’s action. His first assignment begins July 19, when he’ll join live coverage of this year’s SEC Kickoff.
Watson said of his new opportunity in an ESPN press release: “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to be joining ESPN and SEC Network.
