The Green Bay Packers offense is going to be a mystery early in the season. With a new starting quarterback and a very young group of pass catchers, growing pains are expected. In the past, fans knew who Rodgers liked going to in certain situations and who his favorite targets were. Now, there really is not any indication as to who Jordan Love’s go-to guys will be, or if the ball will be more spread out. Guys like Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs have the edge since they are going to be the top two wideouts and have trained with Love in the off-season. Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Kurt Benkert seems to have high hopes for Christian Watson.
What can Green Bay Packers Fans expect from Watson?
A question was posted on social media asking Packers fans whether or not they think Christian Watson will surpass the 1,000-yard mark in 2023. Kurt Benkert replied showing what he thinks of the second-year wideout from North Dakota State.

This is not the first time Kurt Benkert has shown support for Christian Watson. Despite no longer being on the team, Benkert is still an avid supporter of the team on social media. Earlier this offseason he stated what he hoped from the Packers offensive playmakers.
I hope Jordan Love throws for 4k yards, both Doubs & Watson have 1k receiving each – AND Jones & Dillon go for 1k all-purpose each.
It’s actually possible this year.

Benkert was showing support for all of the young Green Bay Packers playmakers. However, he followed up the post with another post breaking down how it could happen, stating that it will be tough and take all 17 games. He went on to specifically call out Christian Watson and Aaron Jones.
“Jones and Watson are locks imo. Doubs will have to have the dirty yards / breakout games.”
