Running a simple dig route on the strong side of the offense on Wednesday afternoon, Chiefs receiver Sammy Watkins let a simple pass from Matt McGloin bounce out of his spread-eagle hands. Groans were heard around the field.
Just a couple of snaps later and on the weak side of Pat Mahomes, Watkins ran a speedy post route inside, picking up a clean catch and erasing any memory of the dropped pass.
Wednesday afternoon’s workout demonstrated the work Watkins has put in this offseason to become a more versatile player under coach Andy Reid.
“We’re moving them all over the place, and he’s handled it — we’ve overloaded him with that,” Reid said.
