Fresh off saying he would refrain from giving players glowing offseason evaluations in the press for fear of creating unrealistic expectations for their upcoming seasons, Mike McCarthy couldn't help but reveal how he's feeling about receiver Jared Abbrederis' progress anyway.
At the end of the team's offseason program, McCarthy shared the following thoughts about Abbrederis, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky:
I think Jared's had his best offseason. I think his route running is exemplary for a young guy. His ability to recognize coverages, and his time clock, his breaking points, his ability to drop his weight—just all the specifics and details and techniques of route running, I think he's exceptional.
