The NFL preseason is full of great opportunities for many players to try and make a roster.
Most of the preseason games see undrafted players shine and prove their worth.
Also, we come across some touching stories on occasion.
That is the case with Green Bay Packers rookie running back Emanuel Wilson.
In his first NFL game, he rushed six times for 111 yards and two touchdowns.
According to the NFL, that date was 14 years ago when Wilson lost his father.
A special debut for @packers rookie RB Emanuel Wilson. 🙏💚

This was an amazing moment for Wilson and one he will remember for the rest of his life.
Also, this was a great start to the preseason for Wilson who is looking to make the team.
Wilson was an undrafted free agent out of Fort Valley State University.
It will be tough for Wilson to make the team in a crowded running back room in Green Bay.
But he is at least making a name for himself and other teams will notice.
It will be fun to see what else Wilson can do during the preseason.
He will get plenty of opportunities over the next two games.
The Packers are going to be one of the most intriguing teams in the NFL this year.
It is their first season in 18 years without Aaron Rodgers.
They turned the team over to Jordan Love and much uncertainty follows him into the season.
But Love is a former first-round pick and is someone that many people are high on.
Now is the time to show what he is made of.
