Why not? If Tony Gonzalez or Shannon Sharpe had made that play, it would be one of the very best highlights of his career.
That was actually one of the plays that really let me personally cut him some slack. It was a hell of a play, and one that should be an example to all players out there about hustling on every play.
I'm not familiar with particular plays in either of their careers, but I would want an offensive player's highlights to have something to do with offense. Ideally in winning games.
See, highlights are great plays made by a player. It's really that simple. Offense, defense, special teams.... they're all plays.
Absolutely. I'm not criticizing the play. My point is that he didn't do enough that was memorable as a tight end.

Isn't funny to see him make a catch like that but then remember how many times he tipped balls into the air which resulted into INT's? Or how many times he dropped passes with two hands?

Watson chasing down Bailey was one of the all-time best football plays ever. I'll go to my grave knowing that ball went out the back of the end zone. It's simply physically impossible otherwise.
However, he was a mediocre offensive tight end. Not terrible, simply mediocre. But you get drafted in "the first round" in NE, and if you don't make the HOF by Year 2, you're Dead in NE.
Meanwhile, Gronk & Hernandez will get all the slack in the world due to their draft position. I think they'll actually be better than Watson, but it's funny how that first round label can haunt a guy.
