Green Bay — Finally, a flicker of hope has arisen to think the Green Bay Packers might salvage something from the fourth-round draft choice they used on Carl Bradford in 2014.
Bradford's 21-snap stint in Pittsburgh on Sunday was the first time in six exhibition games that he left a positive impression. He even made a play or two.
"I think he showed up and did the things he's supposed to do," said Scott McCurley, who coaches the inside linebackers as the assistant position coach. "It was a solid game for Carl."
Too short and too short-armed to function at the rush linebacker position he was drafted to play, Bradford was cast to inside linebacker late last August as a last resort.
