In all, the lad recorded a total of 253 receptions, 2,930 receiving yards averaging 11.6 with 32 receiving touchdowns, he rushed for 142 yards and averaged 10.1.

The USC prodigy got into America’s apex football league  – the NFL – as the 41st overall in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft as picked by the Buffalo Bills.

There was a turn around of events in the 2016 season as Watkins was down with an injury which saw him on the injured reserve list.
