Perfect Packers Offseason Preview: Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Receivers

As good as Jordan Love was down the stretch, the emergence of a deep group of young receivers will carry the Packers into the future.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – What a difference about 11 months can make. Less than a year ago, the Green Bay Packers had major questions at receiver following the free-agent departures of Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb.

No, they weren’t stars, but they were proven players. The Packers didn’t have a single proven playmaker. As rookies, Christian Watson had three games of 50-plus yards and Romeo Doubs had no catches of longer than 26 yards and didn’t break a single tackle. And they were supposed to lead the next-generation Packers passing attack?

There are no such questions now. The NFL’s youngest and cheapest receiver corps might be the deepest and best position on the team.
