A lot of the talk around the Packers this offseason surrounded their receiving corps with the departure of Davante Adams. At 38 years old, Aaron Rodgers would again have to lift a young, unproven group without a bona fide superstar. Though, even with that group, some thought the Packers would still be OK.
On Sunday against the division rival Vikings (-2) in Minnesota, this group saw some early, if brutal, growing pains in Green Bay’s grand plan. Early in the first quarter, rookie second-round pick Christian Watson streaked past the Minnesota secondary to see himself wide open for a potential touchdown.
