Being traded in the NFL is never easy. You have to move your family to a new city, leave old teammates behind, and learn a new playbook. Sammy Watkins went through it this offseason, leaving chilly Buffalo for the bright lights of Los Angeles after the Rams acquired the wideout in a trade during training camp.

Watkins was eased into the offense as he got acclimated to his new team, but he was putting in plenty of work behind the scenes. He revealed on Monday just how little sleep he got while trying to learn the Rams’ playbook.

“Most definitely,” Watkins said when asked if he was staying up late. “You stay up till 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock – especially in camp when I was trying to catch up and be on the right page and they were throwing stuff at me. The first day I was like, ‘OK, now they’re just trying to see how much I’m studying’ so I had to over-study and be on-point.”

As if it wasn’t enough for Watkins to stay up until the wee hours of the night studying the playbook, he also had to be up extremely early the next day.

“Five, six [o’clock],” Watkins said of what time he’d wake up during camp. “That was around camp time. Now I’m kinda getting to bed, slowly getting into my routine.”

Watkins was asked if he’s a guy who can operate on very little sleep. His response was perfect.

“Yeah, I can sleep when I die,” he said, laughing.

As it stands right now, Watkins is a full go for Week 1. He’s healthy and seemingly caught up with the team’s playbook, and should see significant playing time against the Colts. He’ll do so without Vontae Davis lined up across from him, which is a huge plus for him and Jared Goff.
