Straight out of his rookie season, former Patriots tight end benjaminswatson was put on injury reserve for a knee injury. Then his team won the Super Bowl. 

So why didn't he wear his Super Bowl Ring for six years?

This week on sportsdavidgreene, with the playoffs in full swing, we sit down with Ben to talk about his 16-season stint in the NFL and what it feels like to be in the throes of such an intense moment in the season. We also hear about his struggles with perfectionism and self-doubt, and how he found his passion for advocacy and activism off the field.
