Don't understand the 'dot' and the 'white corner' posts. It's not as if this thread will be hard to find the next month or two...

 
Makes it easier to see on the front page when you've got the white star highlighting the threads you've posted in.

And thank you Faust!

 
Pittsford, N.Y. — For a moment at Bills training camp on Sunday, it seemed like Sammy Watkins was back in college.

He sprinted up field with a smooth release at the line of scrimmage and with one smooth cut created at least two steps of separation between him and cornerback Michael Carter. The ball was waiting for him along the sidelines, and the No. 4 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft plucked it out of the air with ease.

So much for transitioning to the speed of NFL training camp. Watkins said nothing surprised him about his first NFL training camp practice.

"Not at all," Watkins said. "I think OTAs set me up pretty well. I got to understand the speed of the game and grasp the fact that I’m going to make plays."

Watkins made more plays than just about anybody else on the field Sunday night. He was finding a way to get behind the defense consistently and caught just about every pass thrown his way.

"You really just want to get it in a spot for him to catch it and get some yards after the catch," quarterback EJ Manuel said. "That's the biggest thing about a receiver like Sammy."

Watkins will get more of a chance to put his after-the-catch skills on display when the Bills practice in full pads Monday.

I have a feeling this type of news about him is going to be quite common and his ADP is going to rise pretty substantially by the time most redrafts happen. He's going as the 84th player off the board currently. I'm guessing he goes up to around 50-60 after the 2nd week of preseason.
