Abbrederis has struggled to stay healthy since being drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft, but praise from head coach Mike McCarthy following the team’s offseason program perhaps indicates he won’t be the one to get the chop.
Abbrederis showcased his efficient route running ability when given the opportunity last season, and McCarthy has been impressed by this over the spring.
“I think Jared’s had his best offseason,” McCarthy said. “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.
