“I think the sky is the limit with this.”
Those were the words spoken by Brett Veach when explaining his signing of wide receiver Sammy Watkins to the media only seven months ago. The Kansas City Chiefs general manager paid a high price for the free agent target and took his fair share of criticism due to the size of the deal (three years, $48 million). Still, he excitedly held his ground because he had a vision—one in which the Chiefs offense would be unstoppable.
Through half of a season, Veach’s vision has held true.
