In an interview that he did with Grant Cohn of Sports Illustrated, Ward gave Watkins some lofty and completely unsolicited praise.
“Watkins just isn’t talked about because he has been hurt, but I like Sammy,” said Ward. “I feel like he’s a No. 1 receiver. I feel like he’s the reason (the Chiefs) won a Super Bowl.
Ward acknowledged that Kansas City’s top two targets, wide receiver Tyreek Hill and tight Travis Kelce, outshine the rest of the pass-catchers on the roster.
