Former Virginia football wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks played just one snap in the Green Bay Packers' first NFL preseason game against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. As it turns out, one snap is all Wicks needed to get tuned up for the regular season.
In his one and only play on the field, Wicks burned his defender and hauled in a deep ball from Jordan Love, striding untouched all the way to the end zone for a 65-yard touchdown.

The purpose of NFL preseason is partially for starters and established returners to shake the rust off and mostly for rookies and other fringe NFL players to try to earn their roster spots.
