In the NFL, if you’re going to make a roster, you need to take advantage of your opportunities — both the expected and unexpected ones. That’s exactly what young safety Micah Abernathy did last Friday for the Green Bay Packers in their second preseason game against the New Orleans Saints.
When Vernon Scott left the game with an injury, Abernathy was the next man up. Just a few plays later, he delivered a jolt of energy to the Packers, intercepting a pass from Ian Book and making a statement that he deserves serious consideration for a roster spot.
