Sammy Watkins, Tyreek Hill work with Nebraska wide receivers coach

Sammy Watkins needed help putting on the brakes.

The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver is a big target at 6’1 and 211 pounds. His size and speed make him one of the NFL’s most dangerous targets, especially after the catch, where he almost becomes like a running back in the secondary.

For such a big target, however, Watkins says he wanted to work on his game this offseason by learning how to stop. That’s quite a challenge since, as he says, ” I’m a big guy. I run hard, fast and physical and you have to learn to control that speed.
