‘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.

‘“I don’t think the world knows what athletes go through off the field,” Watkins added. “We have family. We have lives. You have good and bad in your family. I’m like f–king Jesus in my family.

I have to figure out how I’m going to put my family in a position to be successful or not to get killed or not to get in a situation where they can go to jail. I was fighting a war outside of football.”’
