New Rams WR Sammy Watkins 'sharp' in practice, Jared Goff saysAlden Gonzalez
IRVINE, Calif. -- Sammy Watkins has been on the field with the Los Angeles Rams for three days and has been an active participant in only two practices. But he has already impressed starting quarterback Jared Goff with his grasp of the offense.
"He's been sharper than I've expected," Goff said Wednesday. "That's not saying anything negatively about him, but it's a new system for anybody. He's been on it. He's been sharp. It's been a really pleasant surprise."
The Rams officially acquired Watkins from the Buffalo Bills on Friday morning in exchange for cornerback E.J. Gaines and a second-round pick in next year's draft. Watkins didn't join his new teammates until Saturday afternoon, three hours before their preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys. He had no idea how he would fit then, saying, "I don't even know the offensive plays yet."
