Watkins hopes Tampa Bay will draft him |
Former Clemson wide receiver
Sammy Watkins
"That would be a blessing come true," Watkins said in the interview. "I'm from Florida so if Tampa Bay would draft me that would be an honor. That would be something that I would hope happens because just being in my hometown and being from Florida it would definitely be a blessing." At this point, Watkins said he has no idea who will be drafting him but he grew up rooting for all the Florida teams. "Me personally I love any Florida team," Watkins said. While Watkins would like to stay home in the NFL, Clemson fans are glad that he didn't mind going out of state when it came time to pick a school to play college football. "I didn't want to go to Florida or Florida State," Watkins said. "They were already pretty good. I'm not saying I was shying away from competition. I wanted to go to a program and change it. I think when I came here to Clemson and the 20 other freshman we changed Clemson to an 11-2 season and ACC Championship." Click here to listen to the full interview.
