Chiefs offer nothing but superlatives for former Rams receiver Sammy Watkins
LA TimesThe Chiefs’ Sammy Watkins outruns the Titans’ Logan Ryan on 60-yard touchdown reception in the AFC championship game. “It’s a dream come true,” Watkins said of playing on the sport’s biggest stage. The biggest thing is to get to the show, and we’re actually here now.” Watkins, 26, is an instrumental piece of a high-flying Chiefs offense that features star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce and speedy wideout Tyreek Hill. “There was just a time when I had to check my ego,” Watkins said, “and realize we’re winning.” After the Rams finished 11-5 and advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 2004, Watkins had said he hoped to remain with a team that featured McVay and quarterback Jared Goff. “A real one,” he said, “not someone that’s faking.” He holds McVay — “I love him,” Watkins said — and receivers coach Eric Yarber in high regard, and said that he was happy for Woods, running back Todd Gurley and other former teammates as they made a run to the Super Bowl.
