Former USFL player Micah Abernathy bidding to make Packers roster: 'It's what I prayed for'

GREEN BAY, Wisc. — Micah Abernathy has been with the Green Bay Packers for only eight days.

In that short time, he’s come in early, stayed late, spent what little free time he could find at home on his tablet learning the playbook, doing everything he could to take what little time was given to him and prove he’s worthy of more.

On Friday night, as the Packers defeated the New Orleans Saints, 20-10, in their second preseason game, Abernathy did just that.

“I feel like I showed I can play fast and I feel like I have a lot left in me," the first-year safety said.
