More than a week ago, Christian Watson was patiently waiting to hear his name called in the 2022 NFL draft. When Green Bay made a trade with NFC North rival Minnesota at No. 34 to take the North Dakota State product, it was evident that Watson was important to the Packers' future plans.
Watson steps into a Green Bay franchise after the departure of five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Davante Adams. While Adams being traded to the Raiders surprised quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the NFL, Adams did not leave the franchise on bad terms. He also supports Watson being in Green Bay.
On Saturday, Green Bay posted a picture on Instagram of Watson in a Packers’ uniform that included a comment from Adams. “Kid gon be the truth,” Adams said.
