Kansas City Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins was recently the subject of a long-form feature in B/R Mag. The story offers a look inside the mind of Watkins, covering everything from his struggles in Buffalo to his unique belief system to his redemption in Kansas City. You can check out the full article from Ty Dunne here and I highly suggest reading it in its entirety. Below you’ll find a look at what we learned about Watkins in this story:
No one quite like Sammy
“Dreams are not merely dreams. No. Watkins believes we all move through an astral realm in which you can manifest outcomes into the physical world. Like this past AFC Championship Game. Yeah, he made that all happen.
He hears voices that tell him when danger’s near.
He knows, for certain, that ‘words cast spells.‘”
Chiefs fans understand that Watkins is a unique individual. It wasn’t long ago that many were poking fun at his tweets about how he’s “a reptilian solar being.” Dunne’s story about Watkins details the various occult things that Watkins believes in. Aliens, spirits, reincarnation, teleportation, various forms of magic and so on. The above quote is just a glimpse of what Dunne reveals about Watkins. What is perhaps even more interesting than what Watkins believes in is how that influenced certain moments throughout the Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning season. And how his teammates and head coach really embrace and accept how Watkins views the world. We’ll get to that in more detail a little bit later.
