Packers With Highest Ceilings: Christian Watson

When it comes to the Packers, one player stands out above the rest in terms of sheer potential: Christian Watson.

Watson’s physical attributes set him apart. Standing tall at 6-foot-4 and weighing in at 208 pounds, he boasts elite size for his position. This size advantage allows him to outmuscle smaller defenders, making contested catches seem routine.

But there’s more to Watson’s game than just his physicality. His speed and athleticism are equally exceptional. His blazing 4.36-second 40-yard dash time and a 38.5-inch vertical leap rank among the best in the history of his position in the NFL draft. However, his Achilles’ heel at this point is his catching ability. Improving his hands and becoming more reliable for his quarterback is the final piece of the puzzle. If he can make strides in this department, the sky truly is the limit for Christian Watson.
