Former Clemson receiver draws praise from NFL coach

After spending the last three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, Sammy Watkins signed a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens this offseason.

Watkins has already endeared himself to Ravens quarterbacks coach James Urban, who is a big fan of the former Clemson wide receiver.

“Listen, Sammy … His reputation precedes him arriving here,” Urban said, via Ravens Wire. “He’s a terrific player who’s played at a very high level in this league for a long time. Were it not for some unfortunate injuries, I think his numbers would be way up there.”

Last season, Watkins tallied 37 receptions for 421 yards and two touchdowns.
