Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson is still getting used to the idea of playing alongside Aaron Rodgers. After Rodgers opted out of voluntary OTAs, Watson finally got the chance to work with QB1, who is participating in this week’s mandatory minicamp. It all started with Tuesday’s practice, where Watson was on his “p’s and q’s” in hopes of making a strong first impression.
“Your head’s spinning a little bit, but you got to make sure you’re there doing everything right to be on the same page with him,” Watson said after practice.
The first day entailed individual drills, 7-on-7, and even some 11-on-11 at half speed. Obviously, minicamp isn’t very telling, but this was the start of Rodgers building chemistry with the highest-drafted receiver this team has had in 20 years. Meanwhile, Watson was still a little starstruck.
