The reigning two-time league MVP was not short of compliments when discu sing Watson, who began participating in team periods late last month for the first time since undergoing his procedure."I might have to change Dave Bakhtiari's nickname, because this kid might be the new baby giraffe, or more like a deer because he's just prancing and flying around on the field," during a recent appearance on "The Show." "This dude's got incredible stride length. And really, for a man who is 6-foot-5, his speed is legit. It was nice having him. He's a different type of receiver than we've had.

"You guys can certainly see the physical skills, Tavon Austin Jersey the speed and power that he po se ses," Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, who added that he hopes to have Watson on the field when Green Bay faces the on Sunday.
