Some coaches struggle to appropriately identify skillset, or they plainly force the issue trying to make a player into something they aren’t, which leads to disaster and misrepresentation. Sammy Watkins is a playmaker simple and true. Understanding what Sammy does best will go a long way in his new digs in Kansas City. Early showings in OTA’s (Organized Team Activity), has Watkins all over the formation learning every receiver positional responsibility in hopes to generate better and more consistent production, Andy Reid seems to understand the skillset! Going back reviewing the Clemson film of Watkins, one would see in clear sight the glaring difference from how he’s been used in the NFL. First, there’s no question we believe Sammy can be a plausible deep threat with great success, but to effectively extract the most from his talents is to get the ball in his hands allowing him to make defenders miss for big gains. Watkins was a leader every season in YAC yards (Yards after Reception) while playing for the Clemson Tigers racking up fantastic production in the process. In his sophomore season with the Tigers, Watkins nearly had 600 YAC yards in that one season; while in his NFL career Sammy has produced less than 800 total YAC yards, see the correlation?
