Wednesday Cheese Curds: Setting expectations for 2023 rookies

Setting appropriate expectations is a huge part of a good evaluation process. As far as the Packers are concerned, appropriate expectations are a concern for both their second-year wide receivers and whatever picks they make at that position this spring.

After a slow start, Christian Watson ended the year about as strongly as anybody in Green Bay could reasonably have hoped. But lighting up the league for seven touchdowns in a four-week span is obviously an exception rather than the rule as far as overall performance, and expectations should accordingly be tempered for his second year.
