High-risk, high-reward draft prospects for Packers: Christian Watson, WR, NDSU

Packers’ fans have been throwing Christian Watson’s name around more often as we get closer to the draft.

He has good size at 6-foot-5, but needs to add some strength as he’s just 205 pounds. That could affect his ability to make an impact in the NFL if he’s struggling to get off the line of scrimmage.

However, his speed and athletic ability are what jumps off the page at you. He has great top-end speed and can blow past cornerbacks in a hurry. He has great hands and catch radius to complement his speed. He could be a late first-round target and someone with true boom or bust potential.
