Sammy Watkins isn’t starting World War III in Kansas City
“I think any player or receiver wants to go out there and do well. You want to score touchdowns, catch the ball as much as you can, and get as many yards as possible. As myself, I want those type of things. Do I have to be mad at the guys also going out and getting it? No. I love my guys. I love to see guys be out there balling. It’s my duty to serve them as well as they serve me. As a receiver, of course I want more balls, but that’s not my focus. My focus is in the win and going out there and having fun.” – Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins
Remember Watkins’ Bleacher Report feature that was published earlier this offseason? The one where he promised “World War III” if the Chiefs didn’t do right by him and get him the ball. Yeah, well, that’s all in the past now. The 2020 version of Watkins is focused on winning and having fun. Watkins does want to get the ball more often. But as Andy Reid implied, what great player doesn’t want the ball more often? It’s not something that will be a problem and that’s a relief.
