You know that meme of a man rubbing his palms while hiding behind a tree? That is probably Jaylen Watson right now. He is eager to begin a new chapter after signing a three-year, $51 million contract with the Los Angeles Rams in March.
He spent his first three years in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning two Super Bowl titles. Now, Watson is looking to help the Rams, who fell short of making it to the ultimate round last season after falling to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.
The 27-year-old cornerback may be part of the defense, but that does not mean he does not pay attention to the offense in training camp. In particular, Watson was impressed with Matthew Stafford’s nifty dime to Davante Adams on Tuesday.

“NGL, I haven’t played a QB who (can) throw that peel like nine,” wrote Watson on X.

That was high praise from someone who played with Patrick Mahomes, who many still consider the best quarterback in the NFL.
Watson’s post drew mixed reactions from fans.
“You’ll get a chance this season, gang,” said @j_ustinb710.
“Saw him first game of the season in Nashville against the (Tennessee) Titans. Matthew Stafford is the best thrower of the football I’ve ever seen in my life,” added @CoachKenWalton.
“Don’t forget who carried your a** to two Super Bowl wins,” reminded @kzhwrrld.
“Mahomes better throw 300 yards on Jaylen ‘Bum’ Watson now,” commented @lluljames.
“I think this (was) more of a shot at the league and the years (than) QBs he played against. Nothing against Pat, but he’s (Watson) giving props to a former No. 1 draft pick who threw a dot against the (Cleveland) Browns, and his shoulder came back out of place. He’s vetted for sure,” wrote @KWavewolf.
Watson may have ruffled some feathers in Kansas City with his remark.
Incidentally, the Rams will start their preseason schedule against the Chiefs on August 15, although it remains unclear whether Watson and Mahomes will suit up.
