The red zone, formerly referred to as the gold zone in Green Bay, was the focal point of Thursday’s training camp practice, with the defense competing against the offense to see who would be doing up-downs at the end. The defense emerged victorious for the second consecutive day, but not without a valiant effort from second-year wide receiver Christian Watson.
Watson hauled in two touchdowns during the red zone period, both coming on back-to-back possessions, according to Packers Wire contributor Paul Bretl. On the first touchdown, Watson found space moving right to left across the field and caught an accurate pass from Jordan Love. Then, on the second touchdown, Watson ran a quick five-yard out route and made a contested catch with corner Rasul Douglas closing in a fraction of a second too late. After practice, Watson described the play’s impeccable timing.
