Emanuel Wilson’s 80-yard touchdown run is the Packers’ biggest play of the preseason. By a lot.
It’s true that the exhibition slate isn’t necessarily a breeding ground for explosive plays. Suspect blocking and subpar talent don’t lend themselves to a ton of highlight-reel performances, even if the defense is usually just as suspect. And Wilson, a somewhat lightly regarded prospect out of a small school at a low level of college football, isn’t the kind of player you’d necessarily expect to break off a big one.
