\The Billy Graham Library will welcome NFL player Benjamin Watson on March 25, from 10 to 11 a. m., as he signs copies of his book, Under Our Skin.
Benjamin Watson is a tight end for the Baltimore Ravens, a writer and speaker, and an often read and followed commentator on social media. After an all-SEC senior campaign at the University of Georgia, he was drafted in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. He won a Super Bowl ring in his rookie season and appeared in another Super Bowl in 2007. Watson also played for the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints before signing with the Ravens in 2016. Watson was a 2015 Walter Payton Man of the Year finalist.
Ben and his wife, Kirsten, have five children.
Books will be available for purchase in Ruth’s Attic bookstore, or you may bring your own. Limit of two signed items per person. (One item must be Under Our Skin.) For more information, please call 704-401-3256 or email LibraryEvents@bgea.org.
[Editor's Comment: Our beloved Stephanie, now with our blessed Lord in heaven, introduced me to Ben Watson when he played football for the Georgia Bulldogs. Stephen chose to become a member of Cornerstone Church of God in East Athens while maintaining her love and loyalty to the Pentecostal Holiness Church.
Stephanie never met a stranger without making him or her a friend. Ben Watson and his wife were friends of Stephanie. That's my connection with Ben Watson. Stephanie wanted me to meet Ben Watson, so Melvine went one Sunday to hear Pastor Scott Sheppard preach and to meet Ben. He is an outstanding Christian athlete and is a strong witness for Jesus Christ.]
