Tight End Legacy

 

College football has been more fun than ever this year with so many unexpected results.  The 12-team playoff is giving a lot of teams a reason to hope for an extended season and a chance at the national  championship.  UGA has had mixed results like most of the rest of the top teams.  They have talent and depth at all positions, and when they hit on all cylinders, they seem invincible.  Tight end, Lawson Luckie, is making a huge contribution.  Luckie has some big shoes to fill following Brock Bowers, arguably one of the best tight ends ever to play college football.   UGA has had some great tight ends recently, but we have to go back about 20 years to land on Ben Watson.  After a successful NFL career, Ben is back in the spotlight as an analyst for SEC network.   But I have been watching Ben on social media for a while.  He doesn't post that much about his performance on the field, but he posts regularly about what it means to him to be a follower of Jesus.  Ben was recognized in 2018 for his strong character when he received the Bart Starr award.  He used the 8 minutes he had with the microphone to talk about what Jesus has meant to him throughout his life.  With so much of the celebrity world pushing a "look at me" world view, I love seeing Ben display his "look at Him" way of life.
