The Green Bay Packers aren’t the only ones excited about Sammy Watkins’ potential this season. Pro Football Focus recently highlighted Watkins as a receiver primed for a bigger role in 2022. After signing a one-year deal, Watkins has been working out this offseason with Buffalo Bills receiver Gabriel Davis and his trainer Bert Whigham.
Unprompted, Whigham spoke highly of Watkins in a recent interview.
“That guy is going to be good for the Packers. He started working with us like seven weeks ago, and he said he wanted to be ‘college Sammy.’ Sammy is going to have a big year. He told me, ‘I want to be Clemson Sammy Watkins.’ And I was like, ‘OK, let’s do it.’ He’s just up there squatting 405 for eight right now like it’s nothing. He started around 218, and he’s at 225 right now, too. He’s going to go be a No. 1 in Green Bay.”
