Summary
From the minute the Green Bay Packers called his name with the 34th pick of this year’s NFL Draft, wide receiver Christian Watson has had to answer questions about becoming the new face of the team’s wide receivers room — as he steps into the void created by the trade of Davante Adams. Today, The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman tells the story of Watson’s amazing rise from 4-year-old on a dirt bike, to undersized, awkward teenager, to now potentially becoming Aaron Rodgers’s top target.
