Explosive play proves Packers WR Sammy Watkins can still run

Sammy Watkins might be 29 years old and a veteran of over 100 NFL games, but the Green Bay Packers receiver proved he can still run on his 55-yard reception against the Chicago Bears in Week 2.

According to Next Gen Stats, Watkins hit 20.48 miles per hour on the play, making him the 13th fastest ball-carrier in the NFL during Week 2. His speed was on par with a long touchdown run by Lamar Jackson against the Dolphins and a long touchdown catch by Quez Watkins against the Vikings.
