    Not every rookie drafted to the NFL lives up to the hype they received coming out of college.

Sammy Watkins will be playing in the wasteland called Buffalo. Most defensive linemen take a while to get their feet under them so Dee Ford should have some leeway.

Watkins will go on to have a great career, but I don't expect it to start in In Buffalo this year.
