GREEN BAY – Thus far in his brief NFL career, receiver Jared Abbrederis is best known as the local Wisconsin kid who made the in-state fans proud by stepping up big in the playoffs for the Packers last season.
In that context, it’s easy to forget that Abbrederis, now in his third season in Green Bay, has yet to make the 53-man roster out of training camp.
He’s on the verge of doing that for the first time this week, and while he’s not counting his chickens before they hatch, he knows he’s put together a solid body of work heading into Thursday’s preseason finale in Kansas City.
