Sammy Watkins
Watkins was brought in as the sole veteran receiver to replace some of the production lost from Adams and Valdes-Scantling. Only, he’s been the biggest disaster so far.
Watkins has zero burst and ability to create separation from opposing defensive backs. He also seems lost on the field, often running the wrong routes. It’s a wonder why he plays so much (injuries probably play a big role in that).
Next. 3 way too early quarterback prospects for Packers. dark
I’m not sure Watkins has the talent to turn it around like some of the other guys on this list. He is what he is at this point. The Packers must figure out how to limit his playing time and let others have an opportunity.
