Just look at Sammy Watkins' monster Orange Bowl game.  16 catches 227 yards and 2 touchdowns.  But guess what?  He ran only 1 (ONE) route that wasn't a 0, 9, or swing pass.  ONCE the ENTIRE game.  It was a 5 yard out, and it wasn't even a good route.  This is why I am very skeptical of Watkins as a prospect.  His monster games are a result of scheme and athleticism.  He very rarely is asked to line up and beat a cornerback with his route running. 

 

How some people think that a receiver who has only run 2 routes his entire career and put up half the stats of Blackmon, who was a complete receiver in college, is a better prospect, I will never know.
