He and Avery are also scheduled to visit the Dead Sea and the Machane Yehuda open-air market in Jerusalem.
“I have been blessed to visit many countries around the world, but the chance to visit the Holy Land, see the sights and meet the people of this special place, truly is a special blessing and an amazing opportunity,” said Watson.
Watson is not the only NFL player to visit the Jewish state.
