Watson, Doubs Could Keep Packers’ Tradition Alive

GREEN BAY, Wis. – From 2008 through 2021, the first 14 seasons of Aaron Rodgers’ run as the starting quarterback, the Green Bay Packers got 13 touchdown receptions from their rookie receivers.

With four games remaining in this season, the rookie triumvirate of Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Samori Toure have contributed 11.

“I think that room looks pretty bright moving forward,” general manager Brian Gutekunst said last week.

The offseason trade of Davante Adams left Green Bay’s receiver room riddled with uncertainty. First and foremost on that list was how quickly the three draft picks would emerge as consistent contributors.
