GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins has wasted no time showing he remains a deep threat in his ninth NFL season.
He also has shown that catching passes isn’t the only way he can contribute.
Watkins is Green Bay’s leading receiver as the Packers (1-1) prepare to visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The 29-year-old has revealed glimpses of the form he showed earlier in his career to help Green Bay adapt to the absence of two-time All-Pro wideout Davante Adams, who’s now with the Las Vegas Raiders.
