Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson will be one of the fastest virtual players in “Madden NFL 24.”
Watson, who has 96 speed, is tied with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, Jets receiver Mecole Hardman, Browns receiver Anthony Schwartz, Raiders cornerback Jakorian Bennett, Jets cornerback Javelin Gaudry, Vikings cornerback Kalon Barnes and Patriots receiver Tyquan Thornton for the eighth-fastest speed rating in the video game at launch. He is the fastest Packers player on the game.
Watson ran the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds despite standing 6-4 and weighing over 200 pounds at the 2022 combine. By size, Watson’s 40-yard dash time ranks in the 97th percentile by Relative Athletic Score. His 10-yard split of 1.45 seconds ranks in the 99th percentile.
Watson used his blazing speed to create a number of big plays as a rookie, including a 63-yard catch-and-run touchdown from quarterback Jordan Love in Philadelphia. He had nine plays over 20 yards, including four touchdowns of at least 39 yards.
Expect to create plenty of long touchdowns when playing with Watson and the Packers in this year’s Madden:
