The Facts: Since his early days in Buffalo, Watkins has been less of a go-to target and more of a complementary weapon. The world hasn't seen a dominant Watkins in years. After signing as a free agent in Baltimore, Watkins hopes his latest fresh start ushers in a rebirth for the former No. 4 overall pick. "It's time for the world to see Sammy Watkins, the one that was balling in college and running around the field having fun," Watkins said Monday, via Adam Teicher of ESPN. "I think I'm that guy. I just have to put a healthy season together."
Diehards Line:The Clemson product hasn't played a full 16-game slate since his rookie season. After going for 982 yards and 1,047 yards his first and second seasons in Buffalo, respectively, Watkins hasn't broken the 675 receiving yards mark in any of the past five seasons. Heading to Baltimore on a one-year, $5 million contract, there is a chance Watkins can swipe the top role away from Marquise Brown. Watkins enjoyed his best season under current Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman in Buffalo (2015). Baltimore operates a run-heavy scheme, but Watkins believes he can do damage returning to that system. "When I was at Buffalo, I had my best times with him. ... So I can't complain," Watkins said of reuniting with Roman. If Watkins can recapture his production from his first time working under Roman, he could hit a friendlier market next offseason.
