Green Bay Packers: 'Total package' rookie receives incredible praise from Randall Cobb

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb has been left in awe of new recruit and fellow wideout Christian Watson.

One of the main concerns for the Green Bay Packers heading into the NFL Draft this year was the need for them to get Aaron Rodgers some more weapons to throw to, an issue that has been pressing for some time, but became more prevalent following the trade of Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders.

However, with an impressive resume under his belt from his days with the Bison, including 2,140 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, it might well be that Watson, the 7th receiver taken, might end up being one of the better players:

And it appears as though he has some friends in some very high places within the
