GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It takes Tim Watson eight fully uninterrupted minutes to tell the story of how he got from the 1993 NFL draft to his first game with the Green Bay Packers.
And that, in a phone interview, was the abridged version.
He hopes his son, Christian, has a much smoother path.
And given that the Packers selected the younger Watson with the second pick of the second round on Friday -- and traded up to No. 34 overall to do it -- that seems like a decent bet.
“I believe that Christian is certainly in a different situation than I was in,” a chuckling Tim Watson told ESPN after sharing his circuitous route.
