The Facts: Watkins' latest stop has him in a new location, but among familiar company. Watkins' position coach, Jason Vrable, doubles as Green Bay's pass game coordinator in 2022. He's bringing with him some familiar terminology from their days spent together in Buffalo, and believes the wide receiver's move to Green Bay will position him for success -- and that's without even mentioning who will be throwing passes to Watkins. "I talked to Sammy about it the other day. The way he was running some routes and catching, it reminded me of when he first walked on the field (in Buffalo)," Vrable told reporters Thursday. "The biggest thing had been some injuries, if you looked at the thing. But he know he's going to work as hard as he can. He's here doing all the workouts right now in conditioning. He feels good where his body is at."

Diehards Line:Familiarity could be very beneficial to Watkins, who joins a Packers team looking for quality replacements for key contributors lost in the offseason. Watkins won't be expected to suddenly morph into Davante Adams, but if he can produce at even 70 percent of Adams' rate in the last couple of seasons, Watkins will be flirting with a career-high output. He'll have to compete with the likes of Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and second-round pick Christian Watson for targets in 2022. But if his history tells us anything, it's that Watkins will be right at home on a team intending to contend for a Super Bowl and will find a role that best suits his team's ambitions. At 28 years old, Watkins is still in his prime. Perhaps a pairing with a future first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback is precisely what he needs.
