Watkins puts hug aside and takes historic snap…
After the Buffalo Bills selected him with the fourth overall pick of the NFL Draft 2014, receiver Sammy Watkins decided he wanted a selfie with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
In what was undoubtedly a nerve-shredding experience for the college stars, Watkins didn’t have to wait too long for his name to be called out as the Bills made their choice with a need to strengthen their offensive unit.
Ordinarily, the players receive a reception from the assembled media and crowd in New York, shake hands, and perhaps hug, Goodell and receive their jersey.
However, seeing as though the craze shows no sign of going away, Watkins decided to take the ‘selfie’ to another level and capture an historic moment in his career and life for that matter, by snapping himself alongside the NFL commissioner on stage.
Johnny Manziel made the headlines with his ‘money’ sign as he walked on stage, but Watkins perhaps takes it with this effort after he was given the opportunity to take over the NFL instagram account…
