0:00Christian Watson is a rocket ship. He is
0:02steaming up in the NFFC in a major way.
0:06Had that huge contract this past off
0:08season. We've talked about like need to
0:10have him type player. A Mecca Egbuoka a
0:12little bit higher has that sort of
0:14steam. Christian Watson you're seeing
0:16the same sort of steam. The idea being
0:18that the Green Bay Packers have to
0:20change what they're doing a little bit.
0:23They have to be a little bit more
0:24pass-happy after the last two seasons
0:26ending in major disappointment. You've
0:28also got the Josh Jacobs concerns with
0:31Jacobs obviously having looming off the
0:33field stuff to deal with potentially.
0:35But even if you're not fading Josh
0:38Jacobs because of anything off the
0:39field, [music] he sustained a
0:41considerable amount of volume the last
0:43two years and it feels like this offense
0:46could be a little bit more balanced. So,
0:48enter Christian Watson. Christian Watson
0:50again, there's collective enthusiasm
0:52that he could have this massive massive
0:54season. Could Christian Watson be the
0:562026 version of 2024 Terry McLaurin and
1:00catch a bunch of touchdown passes? It
1:02feels like drafters are betting on it.
1:05And you're seeing Watson going ahead of
1:08not only the banged-up Malik Nabers and
1:10that could be a takeaway here. Nabers
1:12down to 41 overall over the last week.
1:15But you're seeing him go ahead of wide
1:16receivers like Mike Evans, Davante
1:19Adams, Jameson Williams, DJ Moore, uh
1:23some interesting team wide receiver
1:25ones, but drafters are gravitating
1:28towards Christian Watson.
