As the Kansas City Chiefs attempt to capture their first Super Bowl in 50 years, wide receiver Sammy Watkins believes there's no one more deserving of the Lombardi Trophy than his head coach, Andy Reid.

"I think coach Reid deserves one," Watkins told reporters during Super Bowl Opening Night, according to Around the NFL. "He's one of the top coaches in this league. He's on the top coaches I've ever had and I think himself in general and this organization deserve a ring. I think everyone on this team deserves one. I think we've played well and went through all the trials and tribulations and injuries and stuff like that and we've played the best as a team. So I think if anyone deserves one, we do.

"I know he (Reid) won't retire but I think (a Super Bowl title) would definitely set up his Hall of Fame career. Like I said, I've been here for two years and that's probably one of the (most genuine) person(s) I've ever met as a coach. A coach that really cares, a coach you can go talk to and probably the best decision of my life to come play for him."

Kansas City signed Watkins in 2018 after three seasons with the Buffalo Bills and one campaign with the Los Angeles Rams.

The receiver has taken a back seat to other Chiefs stars at times this season, but he caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown in his team's AFC championship win over the Tennessee Titans.

"Andy Reid is one the best coaches to play for," Watkins said, per Ariel Rothfield of KHSB. "If there's anyone who deserves it it's him."
