Wednesday Cheese Curds: Eric Stokes' stock is rising; is Christian Watson the next Vincent Jackson?

Two members of the past two Green Bay Packers draft classes are going to be counted on in a big way in 2022.

That’s a lot of twos!

Eric Stokes, 2021’s first round pick, was thrown into the spotlight early last year after Jaire Alexander suffered a shoulder injury that sidelined him for most of the season. Stokes not only held his own in his first year facing NFL receivers but he played so well his presence alongside a healthy Alexander and Rasul Douglas give the Packers arguably the best secondary in the NFL.

He’s going to be counted on to be a major contributor in his second season and he is a prime candidate to be a breakout player.
