The Red Cross announced that the floods were the nations worst natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast four years ago.Watsons wife, Kirsten, grew up in Baton Rouge, and they learned that her grandparents and cousins were not harmed.

He played for the Saints for the previous three seasons before signing with the Ravens in March.I would love to be there as much as I could. I love to be there for a day to encourage people and be hands on there and help as much as I could, Watson said.

He is A-plus, plus, plus, plus, plus in every area. ' ' '
