GREEN BAY, Wis. – Sammy Watkins was the fourth pick of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played like it during his first two seasons with the Buffalo Bills with a combined 2,029 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Over the last four seasons, Watkins has a combined 2,007 yards and nine touchdowns.
It’s a reality that Watkins, the Green Bay Packers’ lone veteran addition at receiver, isn’t running from.
“I think I told the coaches, ‘My back is against the wall,” Watkins said after Wednesday’s minicamp practice. “My career hasn’t been what I projected it to be. It’s a great opportunity for me to come here, play hard, catch a ton of balls, compete at the highest level and win games and fight to stay healthy.
