Former Georgia TE Benjamin Watson has been a mainstay in the NFL over the past 16 seasons, playing for the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, Saints again and Patriots again.
He amassed 547 catches for 6,058 yards and 44 touchdowns in those 16 seasons, but it seems he has caught his last pass.
