IN CASE IT IS REAL:

My favorite Sammy Watkins moment was when a friend of mine - not friends through a Clemson connection - video'd his kid who was a HUGE Bills fan - as they drafted Sammy - kid goes absolutely BESERK and starts crying . . . "We GOT A CLEMSON GUY - and it is SAMMY WATKINS ! ! ! !"


Pretty crazy.

Watkins last season at Clemson was my Freshman year. Will always remember him scoring that long touchdown against Georgia my first game as a student. The atmosphere in Death Valley was electrifying.

Nothing beats the hit he laid in the Georgia defender as he took a quick slant to the house.

Sammy Watkins’s help set the standard for receivers at Clemson. He made some of the best catches by a college football player. He has used that God given talent in the NFL.

Thank you Sammy for so many ESPN highlights while at Clemson and for your contributions which was a big part making Clemson WR University!

Sammy was the first WR I can remember


Jul 18, 2021, 7:42 AM

to garner tons of “air advantage” commentary by sportists and such.

Over and over, I remember commentators saying that if Tajh puts the ball up over his head, it becomes not a 50/50 situation with a DB but more like a 70/30 proposition, advantage Mr. Watkins.

The boldness and consistency of statements like that were a testament to Sammy’s incredible talent and reliability.

Makes me think of this play, which I got to witness firsthand. I was sitting in the end zone Sammy was running towards. As soon as I saw the ball in the air, I said to my friend and his son, "he's gonna catch it". There was never a doubt in my mind.

I might be a little late to the party, but...

Somebody needs to tell Sammy I still have his Gatorade! In 2013 before the usc game, my daughter and I were walking around Death Valley when the team came in from practice on the little trains that they had. We stood there and watched the team head into the locker room. Sammy had gotten a ride on a golf cart and had a Gatorade in his hand. Just as they rounded the last corner to go down to the locker room, he tried to put his Gatorade in the cup holder but missed. It went flying out of the cart and right over near my daughter. Sammy turned around and looked at it but the driver never stopped. My daughter picked it up and it's still at my house, today. So Sammy, if you want it back, come and get it. Otherwise, your card will look nice sitting right by your Gatorade.

Sammy still has one of, if not the best, "first gear" I've ever seen for a receiver. That initial burst of speed right after a catch was downright superhuman.

September 3, 2011.

Clemson runs a rushing play on the first play of the game. My father then turns to me and says, "that new guy, #2, the WR on the right side... keep an eye on him. He's gonna be a good one." Boom 33 TD pass to Watkins for a TD on Clemson's second offensive play of the game (first pass of the season)!

What an athlete! Sammy Watkins just seemed to make play, after play, after play, especially when we needed one the most. I'm in the process of re-watching the 2013-2014 Orange Bowl where we played the Bucknuts and man did he show his speed!

caught his first college pass against Troy in 2011. It was a 33-yard touchdown. What a great way to start your college career! I knew then that he was special.

Too many football moments to mention, but probably my favorite Sammy Watkins moment is the infamous email that got sent out to the entire school from CUSG on October 10th, 2012 with the Subject line:

"FREE BEER WITH SAMMY WATKINS!!!"

My favorite was his entire game against Auburn in Death Valley.

My brother (a coot and Alabama fan wearing an Auburn shirt) with his family (Auburn fans) were here for the game. The tickets I got for them were a couple of sections over. I went over during halftime to see how they were, if they liked the seats, etc. He then proceeded to say he would be better if "that freshman weren't killing us! Who is he?" I just smiled and said, "Sammy Watkins."

I can only think of one more impactful true freshman than Sammy - Trevor. Sammy was unstoppable right out of the gate. Even Trevor had to get up to speed but you can’t argue with a Natty. CJ and DW were amazing but I have to give #2 to Sammy.

Tony, thanks for all the hard work you and the team do. Tnet is an oasis in the hot, dry, sandy 'desert of waiting for freaking' football.

Please register me for the Rookie card. I really need it to help me recover from the recent tragedies in my home. To be honest, Well I was drunk, the day my mom, got out of prison. And I went to pick her up in the rainnnn. But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck, She got run over by a ###### old trainnnn...

(sniffles) So, as you can see, I deserve the card way more than anyone.
