After posting up a three-sack performance against the New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Rashan Gary didn’t let the moment slip him by without appreciating what it meant.
It’d be Gary’s first game back at Lambeau Field after tearing his ACL last November. Helping overwhelm the Saints offense was as encouraging a sign that Gary was back in his best form.
After the game, Gary addressed his teammates while in tears, talking about how much the moment meant to him to be out there with his teammates on home turf.
If he keeps having these types of utterly dominant performances, he’ll really position himself as one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.

It’s always special to see an NFL player get a moment to share how much it means for them to be on the field, especially after going through such a difficult moment as an ACL tear and all of the recovery that demands.
Gary doesn’t appear to be taking any of this for granted, which is a great lesson for all of us whether we play in the NFL or not.
