Wide receiver Sammy Watkins had a fairly short stay in Los Angeles, but it his time on the Rams’ offense was nevertheless impactful.
Watkins made 39 receptions for 593 yards — not the most impressive stats on paper. But he also led the team with eight touchdowns, seven of which came from inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. That made him a key cog in the Rams’ offense — one that the club will have to replace after Watkins signed with the Chiefs as an unrestricted free agent last week.
“Sammy was a big part of our offense last year — I mean we went from 32nd to first [in scoring],” general manager Les Snead said.
