You have to do something pretty special to overshadow the first preseason start of the polarizing new quarterback for a team that nearly made the Super Bowl only months prior, especially when that quarterback connects on a 76-yard bomb to the rookie field-stretching wide receiver, which alludes to a previously uncharted dimension for one of the league’s most efficient offenses. Especially when you’re a fifth-round pick from the MAC West, battling to become the team’s nickel corner.
Well, that’s exactly what Sam Womak III did against the Green Bay Packers. He made himself un-ignorable, and it almost immediately resulted in the cutting of Darqueze Dennard, an eight-year NFL veteran, and former first-round pick out of Michigan State, who’s been in the building since the end of last season.
