He works hard to make himself better, fights through his injuries in the off-season, is an enthusiastic downfield blocker, supports and encourages his teammates... not some Cris Carter or Randy Moss "diva"; just a great guy. A solid teammate all around.Remember, his dad Tim was drafted by the Packers 30 years ago, and while he worked hard and had a great attitude too, he was never able to have the success Christian has had. But his dad taught him a lot about what it takes to make it at this level, and Christian seems committed to honoring his dad's mentorship.He's the kind of guy I love to see make it, and it'll be a shame if he doesn't. Which, sadly, seems to be looking more and more likely. Hopefully we're wrong, and I'm still pulling for him, but he does seem to not have the kind of body that it takes to survive the NFL.Interestingly, Watson's dad feels that Luke Musgrave is the guy who's best suited to replace his son as the "take the top off" downfield threat. His 4.61 speed is a little slower than Watson's 4.36, but still fast for a tight end.It's an interesting idea. Might be a good way to get him on the field for more downs.</blockquote>
