Quote:Dave, I think Percy Harvin is as close a comparison as you could get but not an exact match. Watkins has speed and quickness and can be lined up all over the field. He is probably not as "ruthless" has Harvin is, but I feel like he's just as dangerous.

 

 

Deacon,  thanks for your excellent input. 

 

A couple of follow-up questions come to mind,  based on the Percy Harvin comparison but not exact match.

 

1.  Do you feel Sammy Watkins' skills and makeup would make him a better fit on the outside or in the slot?   In the case of Harvin,  he's better suited for the slot.

 

2.  How do you rate Watkins'  NFL potential compared to another WR with Vikings connections,  Cordarrelle Patterson?   The latter demonstrated tremendous multi-dimensional playmaking ability as a rookie in 2013.
