(Ryan) Clark, who attended LSU's Pro Day on Wednesday, said the Saints scored a major coup in landing Lewis, whom he play with for the past four seasons in Pittsburgh, and Watson, whom he played against during AFC North games against the Cleveland Browns.
Watson, who caught 49 passes for 501 yards and three touchdowns last season for the Cleveland Browns, is expected to team with Jimmy Graham to form one of the best tight end combinations in the league.
"Benjamin is an exceptional tight end," Clark said. "He blocks, plays extremely hard and catches the ball. If you look at the Cleveland Browns the last few years, he's their best target. He's been their best offensive player -- if you ask me. So they should be excited about what they are getting with Ben. Also, you can team him with Jimmy in two tight end sets and give people nightmare matchups all around the field."
New Orleans Saints have made two nice pickups in free agency, according to Ryan Clark | NOLA.com
I love the defensive signings but wanted to give a bit of praise to the other guy. I feel that Watson is going to be a probowl pick up with Drew as his QB.
