Without a preseason catch, Sammy Watkins is still learning Chiefs’ offense

For Sammy Watkins, the hardest part about Andy Reid’s offense is also his favorite part.

Watkins likes the complexities of the scheme and the opportunity to learn all of the receiver spots. He spends hours studying tiny, intricate details that either make the play a beautiful success or a head-scratching breakdown.

After working with five offensive coordinators in three years, Watkins knows a thing or two about learning new offenses quickly, but Reid’s playbook is challenging the receiver — and that’s a good thing in his mind.

“It’s fun moving around, being on linebackers, being on nickel backs,” Watkins said on Thursday.
