Chiefs training camp notebook: Justin Watson emerges as true player to watch

In late June, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson earned a mention on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.”

At the time, it felt a little strange. Sure, we’d noticed Watson during Chiefs organized team activities (OTAs) — and so had Patrick Mahomes — but why would a fifth-year reserve/futures wide receiver with 258 yards be garnering national attention?

It comes down to the little things. In the NFL — especially when you're on one of its roster bubbles — that starts with special teams.
