Packers get another elite athlete in WR Christian Watson

No one loves elite athletes in the draft quite like Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst.

After taking two of the most athletic defensive front seven players in the 2022 NFL draft class during the first round on Thursday night, Gutekunst and the Packers traded up in the second round to get one of the most athletic wide receiver prospects ever to enter the NFL to kick off Friday.
