Green Bay Packers rookie Christian Watson might need some development on franchise mode before he’s a game-changing virtual player on “Madden NFL 23.”
The popular video game franchise released player ratings for wide receivers on Monday, and Watson – the Packers’ highest pick at the position since 2002 – will be a 71 overall at launch.
Watson, at 6-4, has 93 speed, 94 acceleration, 85 agility, 89 jumping, 77 catching, 73 break tackle, 85 change of direction and 77 spectacular catch.
Among Packers receivers, Watson has the best speed and acceleration, the fifth-best agility and second-best jumping – making him the best athlete at the position in Green Bay entering 2022.
