The Buffalo Bills traded away a first-round pick in 2015 to the Cleveland Browns in order to trade up to select Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins, who has now officially signed his four-year rookie contract with the Bills.
It's OFFICIAL.
Sammy Watkins. Ink. Bills.

The 6′-1″, incredibly speedy Watkins, who was coveted by any team needing a wide receiver in the NFL Draft, should do small wonders for the Bills over the next few seasons with young quarterback E.J. Manuel just entering his second NFL season.
Good luck to Watkins, who is already setting the bar high in work ethics, as he begins his career as an official Buffalo Bill.
