NFL Network Analyst: Christian Watson Poised for Breakout Year

Related Topics: Cynthia Frelund, NFL Network

Christian Watson’s career in the National Football League did not start off as promising as Watson and others would have hoped for. Drafted 34th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers, Watson underwent a minor knee procedure that caused him to miss valuable time during training camp. He also missed three games during the regular season due to a nagging hamstring injury. Yet, although Watson stumbled out of the gates – he only had 10 receptions for 88 yards through the first nine games – the North Dakota State product shined the brightest during the second half of the season.
