After the Green Bay Packers traded superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets before the start of the 2023 NFL regular season, the consensus was that the team might be heading into rebuilding mode with no telling how long it would take for the storied franchise to bounce back.
Even though the odds were against the Packers doing much of anything with new starting quarterback Jordan Love under center last season, the team defied the odds with a brilliant performance during the second half of the regular season to make the NFL playoffs.
The Packers went on to play playoff spoiler to the second-seeded Dallas Cowboys, as they were able to take down America’s Team on the road at AT&T Stadium, pulling off the biggest upset of the postseason.
Ultimately, Green Bay lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the next round, but the team proved it is once again a force to be reckoned with in the NFC.
One reason the Packers were able to be successful last season and may continue to do so in the years to come is the play of up-and-coming wide receiver Christian Watson, who recently got married to longtime girlfriend Lakyn Adkins in Malibu, California, according to IKE Packers Podcast.

Despite playing in only nine games for the Packers last season, Watson made his presence felt by catching 28 passes for 422 receiving yards and five touchdowns, which is impressive, to say the least.
Watson was well on his way to outperforming what he did in his rookie season when he caught 41 passes for 611 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
