It’s not always the early-round slam dunk picks that win you games come the NFL season as more and more late-round rookies look to make an impact with their team and become key contributors. This may be the case with Colts’ sixth-round rookie Micah Abraham, who ended up being the highest-rated rookie in the league in the opening week of the preseason according to PFF.

Abraham only gave up one catch for 10 yards out of 16 coverage snaps, but it was a huge play against the run that led to his top ranking grade with PFF. Towards the end of the game, Abraham ripped the ball loose, recovered the fumble himself and then proceeded to return it for a touchdown.
If Abraham can keep up this high level of production in both air and run support, not only could he secure a roster spot, but perhaps see some serious regular season action. Abraham will have two more games to show off his talent, and this seems to be just he start of good things to come for the late round rookie.
