Packers with greatest potential: Christian Watson

Christian Watson possesses all the physical tools to become one of the best offensive weapons in the league. He has tremendous size at 6-foot-4 to set the baseline for success. His leaping ability (38.5-inch vertical leap) and speed (4.36-second 40-yard dash) separate him.

His most significant area for improvement is his hands. We saw that on full display in his first game last season, when he blew by the Minnesota Vikings secondary, was all alone, but couldn’t haul in a perfectly placed deep ball from Aaron Rodgers.

Next. 3 free agent wide receivers Packers should still consider. dark

Watson found his groove during the second half of the season and showed everyone how he can be a weapon in multiple ways. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has certainly been busy drawing up ways to get him the rock as often as possible next year.
