Watkins: 'I'm under pressure'

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins has admitted that he feels under pressure to perform in his rookie season.

The 21-year-old was selected fourth overall by the Bills, who traded up to land the receiver out of the Clemson Tigers to boost their offense for the coming seasons.

"It's a lot [of pressure], but I think for me I'm prepared," said Watkins. "We have a great staff [in Buffalo] that will get me prepared.

"I've got a lot of great receivers that I can stand behind and get me where I need to get. I need to be 100% when I get there and start off on the right foot."

Watkins recorded 101 receptions for 1,464 yards along with 12 touchdowns for the Tigers last season.
