*His chilling eyewitness accounts even get some around him to believe. When receiver Felton Davis heard that Watkins, like him, believed in teleportation, he made a point to sit down with him one-on-one, and his mind was blown.

Not only did Watkins believe. Watkins told him he once witnessed someone teleport.

Before Davis knew it, they were talking about spaceships. (Watkins says he's seen one.)

And aliens. (Watkins believes he himself is one.)"

What's weird about that?

You're not privy to Doug's process. Doug isn't privy to Doug's process either, though.

But here's what you did not see: a 21-year-old drinking every night. That's no exaggeration. Watkins partied "every night"—yes, "every night," he repeats—turning downtown Buffalo's Chippewa Street into his own personal frat party. Beer, liquor...Watkins didn't discriminate in lighting his $12.8 million signing bonus on fire with friends who followed him north. "Living fast," he calls it, holding up a pretend blunt. Yeah, he smoked plenty too.

He treated his body terribly.

"I would go out and get wasted," he says. "Wasted wasted."

But why didn't he deserve it? Cause you don't like him? Because he didn't work out in Buffalo? Because he was miserable and self destructive while he was on this team? Because he and the team did nothing to help each other?

So you're assuming he was high during the interview. None of your points are landing. Just say you don't like him because he was a bust and that'll be that.

I just scored 26 out of 102 on the Athletic's Bills Quiz.

I'm so proud of myself, because statistically speaking, I beat the 25.5 score that a random selection would average out to.

Go Bills!

Might be time to have my Watkins jersey finally re-lettered to Diggs. Been waiting a long time for a worthy #14.

If that's the conclusions you are drawing from that article, then I wouldn't say you read it that closely.

He was a kid that partied. More so than most, even though it's hardly uncommon in the NFL. A majority of these kids are not well off. Give a poor kid millions, see what happens. Events in his life, combined with the drinking and subsequent injuries caused a deep depression, medically considered a disease.

He never "counted" the days to leave the org. He suffered injuries and depression and was at an extremely low point when McD came. He was suffering here, and regardless of whether that's his fault, which it more or less was, it's his right to want to leave for a fresh start. In his own words, he did not ask for a trade.

He may have said some bumhole things to some fans, but I'm not seeing where he's just generally an bumhole? Do you know him? Know folks who he's treated poorly? Is he continuing to taunt the org, city and fans?

By the sounds of it, he had an epiphany, woke up from his depression and is performing relatively well again.

I still fail to see how he's an "bumhole like Gilmore" but I suppose that's your opinion. Which is fine.

You probably missed the part where most of his family is incarcerated or dead. But, whatever. You don't like him, that's fine.

He suffers from white privilege and can't relate, so instead he will judge people he doesn't know.
