Tennessee football: Former Vols DB Micah Abernathy signs with Vikings

After being shut out of the NFL Draft, Micah Abernathy was among the first former Tennessee football players to make news as an undrafted free agent. The Vols defensive back, who played with the program for four years, signed with the Minnesota Vikings.

Abernathy was never expected to be taken in the draft given his inconsistent play throughout his career. Also, he was the one to confirm what happened by announcing his signing with the Vikings on Twitter.

I’m headed to the Minessota Vikings! It’s truly a blessing! #Vikings

Despite struggling with consistency, Abernathy was always a smart player.
