Packers rookie CB Carrington Valentine makes statement with pick-six on Monday

It could be easy to lose track of a seventh-round pick, especially one at a position loaded with veterans, in a 13-player draft class, but Green Bay Packers rookie cornerback Carrington Valentine is making sure he’s not a forgotten man to open training camp.

The rookie jumped a pass from Danny Etling during an 11-on-11 team drill on Monday and likely would have scored a defensive touchdown in an actual game scenario.

On the play, Carrington diagnosed the route concept, sat on the flat route and made a perfect break for the ball when Etling, who made an errant throw, tried to hit rookie Malik Heath.
