After some tough years, Watkins is now a Super Bowl Champion

Sammy Watkins admitted the road to Super Bowl Champion was not an easy one for him.

After a stellar Clemson career, Watkins was drafted No. 4 overall by the Buffalo Bills in 2014. After a promising first two years in which he caught 125 passes for 2,029 yards and 15 touchdowns, injuries began to stymie his NFL career.

From 2016-2019, Watkins could not stay off the injury list, as one nagging injury after another kept him sidelined. In his third year at Buffalo, his numbers dropped to 430 yards and two touchdowns on 28 receptions, all career lows.
