What are the Packers getting in new S Johnathan Abram?
The Green Bay Packers officially claimed safety Johnathan Abram off of waivers on Thursday. He will wear No. 44 with the Packers.
What are the Packers getting in Abram, a first-round pick in 2019 who was released by the Las Vegas Raiders this week?
Brandon Carwile of Packers Wire dove into his potential fit here. He sees Abram as an in-the-box safety or nickel linebacker. Think Josh Jones 2.0.
Overall, Abram (5-11, 205) is an experienced (36 games, 34 starts) and physical safety who will probably help immediately on special teams.
“He can run, he’s a physical player,” special teams coach Rich Bisaccia said Thursday.
