He had three catches for 119 yards during his regular season games. Watkins was able to make one catch in a playoff game. Before that, Sammy Watkins was with the Green Bay Packers where he caught 123 passes, but it was only for 206 yards. Seems like his work wasn&#8217;t that intense as he gets a bit older, but maybe he still has a little bit left in the tank to make some short yardage catches when someone reliable is needed for a short first down.<\/p>\n<p>Watkins has journeyed around to multiple teams. He was drafter by the Bills, then ended up on the Rams, then spent time with the Chiefs where he won a Super Bowl. Then he played for the Ravens. Now he could end up being signed as a free agent by the Colts, but seems like the decision hasn&#8217;t been made yet, at least not at the time we published this.<\/p>\n<p>Watkins has over 5,300 yards and 34 touchdowns on 364 receptions throughout his tenured career as a wide receiver in the NFL. Sammy Watkins was the 4th pick in the 2014 NFL draft. Enjoy these Sammy Watkins highlights from his time at Clemson where he was a total stud:<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sammy Watkins Clemson Highlights\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3dlir20S8XY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Photo screenshot from embedded video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indianapolis Colts are in need of a wide receiver, so they brought in free agent veteran Sammy Watkins, according to Ian Rapoport on X.
