Green Bay Packers star might’ve discovered a career-altering revelation this offseason

.

The Green Bay Packers used the 34th overall pick on wide receiver Christian Watson in the 2023 NFL Draft, hoping the supreme athlete would develop into a consistent playmaker. After consecutive seasons that saw him limited by injury, Watson might’ve discovered something that could change the course of his career.

Watson showed a lot of athleticism and big-play ability as a rookie in 2022. He hauled in 41 receptions for 611 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns, seemingly emerging as the Packers’ No. 1 receiver. While there were questions about how he’d perform in the transition from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love, the rapport the two built on the practice field suggested it would be a strong on-field connection.

That chemistry appeared in flashes last season, with Watson averaging 15.1 yards per catch and scoring 6 touchdowns in 9 games. However, hamstring issues bothered him once again. With his absence, Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed emerged as the leading receivers in Green Bay

Coming off an injury-marred season, Watson used his free time this offseason to try and figure out the hamstring issues that have frequently been a problem for him. Thanks to the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and Public Health, the answer might’ve been found.
