Packers’ Undrafted Free Agent Makes a Statement at Family Night

Green Bay, August 2025 – Every preseason, a new name rises from the bottom of the depth chart and demands to be noticed. For the Packers at Family Night this year, that name was Omar Brown.

The former Nebraska Cornhusker and undrafted free agent exploded onto the radar with three interceptions under the Lambeau lights, electrifying the crowd and giving the coaching staff something to think about as roster cuts loom. Brown, who spent last season on the practice squad and only logged a handful of snaps in real NFL action, showed a hunger and awareness that can’t be ignored—even if his highlight reel came mostly against backups.

After the scrimmage, Brown’s energy was undeniable. When asked about his sudden emergence and the uphill battle for the final safety spot, he delivered a message that could become his calling card:
“I know where I started, and I know nothing’s promised in this league. But one thing I can promise is this—I’m not quitting. I’ll fight for this job until the very end. Every rep, every snap, I’m coming for it.”

Brown’s path hasn’t been easy. Overshadowed by bigger names like Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, and Javon Bullard, he’s also locked in a tight battle with special teams ace Zayne Anderson, whose experience and reliability make him a favorite for the last spot. But nights like this show that Brown is more than just a depth piece—he’s a playmaker with something to prove.

Head coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged the significance of Brown’s performance:
“Three picks in any scrimmage is going to get our attention. Omar’s working his tail off. That’s what this time of year is all about—guys competing and showing what they can bring to this team.”

As the Packers’ safety group shapes up for the season, the story of Omar Brown is quickly becoming a fan favorite. From the practice squad to the spotlight, he’s determined to make every opportunity count—and he’s making sure nobody overlooks him now.

For Brown, the journey is just beginning. The competition is fierce, but the message is clear: He’s not backing down.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
