Johnathan Abram used social media to thank a former college coach. Then-University of Georgia defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt used Lamarcus Joyner’s game film as an example of how to play safety the right way, film study that stuck with Abram throughout a college career that wrapped at Mississippi State.
As luck would have it, Abram’s no longer watching Joyner from afar. Now, he’s playing with him in the Raiders' secondary.
Abram shared the surreal nature of the experience on Twitter last week.
Crazy how @CoachJPruitt showed me so much film on this man on how he played with rentlesss effort & laid it all on the line every play.
