It’s just one step of many for a rookie, but Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson passed the first test during the offseason workout program.
Albert Breer of SI.com heard Watson had a “real solid spring” in Green Bay during OTAs and minicamp.
There are obvious caveats in play: No one is in pads during the offseason workout program, and rookies like Watson are just learning the basics of the scheme. Practices are light. No one becomes a star in May and June. But the moment hasn’t been too big for Watson so far, and that’s encouraging with real football right around the corner.
