GREEN BAY — As Omar Brown made his way to the sideline after the third interception of his magical night, Xavier McKinney was waiting for him.
The Green Bay Packers first-team All-Pro safety wanted his protégé to enjoy the adulation and his accomplishment, of course. His three INTs, in front of a crowd of 59,175 at Lambeau Field, even in a practice, had to be the greatest moment of Brown’s football life to date.
But McKinney also didn’t want Brown to get too swept up in his moment, either. So what immediately followed his congratulatory hug from McKinney were important words of advice.
