Improved health has Packers receiver Christian Watson feeling more confident going into the season

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay’s Christian Watson has shown he’s capable of being one of the NFL’s most potent deep threats when his hamstrings aren’t bothering him. “In my mind, if I’m able to be out there, I’m going to find a way to make plays,” Watson said. I’m right where I want to be.” It’s certainly a change from last year, when a hamstring injury caused him to miss the Packers’ first three games. Without commenting specifically on Watson’s situation, Badger Athletic Performance director Bryan Heiderscheit described the potential impact of asymmetry. “When you’re able to play a lot more free, you just have a lot more confidence, and I think that’s where I’m at,” Watson said.
