Sammy Watkins Still Not At OTAs
2 years agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins has not yet participated in the team's offseason workouts. When asked if he was missing much with the absence of starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, head coach Matt Lafleur replied, "I'm not comfortable with anybody not being here. I'd like them all to be here. Next week is mandatory minicamp. So there will be consequences (then) for not coming." Watkins agreed to a one-year deal worth $4 million but was never a guarantee for a starting spot on the depth chart. The 28-year-old had his worst year as a pro in Baltimore last year, recording 27 receptions on 49 targets for 394 yards and one score. It is worth keeping an eye on whether Watkins is present during mandatory minicamp and can begin building a rapport with Rodgers. If he remains absent, expect wide receivers Allen Lazard and rookie Christian Watson to dominate reps with the first-team offense.
