One of the best decisions of Sammy Watkins’ life was coming to Clemson. That’s what the Kansas City wide receiver told the media earlier this week as the Chiefs get set to play the San Francisco 49ers Sunday in Super Bowl LIV in Miami.
Watkins came to Clemson from Fort Myers, Florida, where he was one of the best receivers in the country coming out of high school in 2011. By the start of his second practice, Watkins moved up to starter status, a spot he kept during his entire three-year career at Clemson.
The 6-1, 210-pound receiver later became a First-Team All-American after setting freshman and overall records for a wide receiver in his first year.
