The Facts:
In an interview that aired Thursday night on NFL Total Access, Watkins acknowledged that his connection with QB EJ Manuel remains a work in progress. "It's not fully there. I mean, we've been connecting at mini-camp, and OTAs," Watkins said. "But at the same time, I could be wide open, and if he don't feel it, or if I run it a different type of way, he won't throw the ball."

Watkins continued: "So it really just got to come with him believing in me. I believe in him. He can throw just about any ball. So it just comes down to ... we just need a lot of reps." At this point, those who follow the team closely maintain that second-year man Robert Woods is the receiver with whom Manuel has the best chemistry. The good news for Watkins is that he has plenty of time this summer to get on the same page with Manuel. If that happens, the No. 4 overall pick will bypass Woods as the go-to receiver in a run-heavy offense.
