Coming out of the Green Bay Packers’ first preseason game, a pair of young players are under the spotlight. One player made his mark with some excellent running, including an explosive touchdown, putting him squarely in the minds of the fans and coaching staff. The other has a chance to capitalize on extra opportunities that will be afforded to him by an injury to a veteran at his position.
Interestingly, the latter player, tight end Austin Allen, was a big part of the 80-yard touchdown run for the former, running back Emanuel Wilson. Allen’s downfield block helped Wilson get to the corner, and he did the rest by outrunning the Cincinnati Bengals’ defense to the end zone.
