After spending both of their first-round picks in the 2022 NFL draft on Georgia defenders, the Green Bay Packers made a bold move to trade up to the top of the second round, landing an explosive pass-catcher to help replace Davante Adams.
North Dakota State’s Christian Watson brings a rare combination of size and speed to a passing offense that just lost its top two receivers in Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, giving Aaron Rodgers a dynamic weapon that he desperately needs.
After dominating FCS competition in college, Watson crushed the NFL Scouting Combine. He measured in at 6-4 and 208 pounds, then proceeded to run a 4.36-second 40-yard dash, showing off impressive speed to go along with his big frame and long arms.
