Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson is determined to address his ongoing hamstring issues during the upcoming offseason. Having already missed a significant number of games in both his rookie year and this season due to hamstring injuries, Watson aims to find the root cause of the problem and implement a strategic plan to stay on the field in the future.

Watson, who missed a total of eleven games over the last two seasons, expressed his determination to overcome these challenges with the help of the team's training staff. He plans to undergo tests to identify any deficiencies or weaknesses that may be contributing to his recurring injuries.

Speaking to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com on Monday, Watson stated, "I gotta find out what the root of it is. That's the start and then I'll be able to formulate a plan around that. But if I can find out what kind of things can possibly be leading to it, make sure I'm doing the right things in the offseason, doing the right things during OTAs, into training camp, just find ways to make sure I'm doing everything I can to be conscious of it. That's my No. 1 plan."

Watson's determination stems from his desire to make a lasting impact on the field. Despite missing significant playing time, the young receiver has already showcased his talent, amassing 69 catches for 1,033 yards and 12 touchdowns in just 23 regular-season games. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur praised Watson's explosiveness and believes that with a healthy hamstring, the sky's the limit for the talented receiver.

If all goes according to plan, Watson will have seventeen chances to add to his impressive stat line in the upcoming season. The Packers organization and fans alike eagerly await seeing Watson's potential fully realized on the field, and with a strategic approach to address his hamstring injuries, the young receiver is determined to make a significant impact in the seasons to come.
