With receiver Jeff Janis recuperating from a broken hand and otherwise having a lackluster camp, the door is open for someone else to step up. And that someone else could be receiver Jared Abbrederis.
Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com pegs Abbrederis as the team’s potential breakout player this year, and for good reason. He’s currently listed as a second-string receiver behind Randall Cobb. That puts him on potentially equal footing with Davante Adams, who didn’t perform the way many had expected after Jordy Nelson tore an ACL last year in the preseason.
Last year, Abbrederis caught nine passes for 111 yards in 10 games. This year, who knows? Abbrederis could end up being a name to watch, even if plenty won’t quite know how to pronounce it and possibly will end up just saying, “Abbacadabra.”
