STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Watson's post-ACL return at elevated snap/route rates is historically remarkable and unexpected.

Christian Watson returned from an ACL tear as a permanently injury-prone player and came back playing very well at a greater snap rate and route rate than he had ever had before; the source found this return remarkable and faster than Adrian Peterson's comeback, describing it as one of the most bewildering things in NFL history.
