Green Bay Packers receiver Malik Taylor never lost confidence he could find a home in the NFL, even as a Division II player who spent much of his senior season injured.
The 2019 undrafted free agent from Ferris State survived the Packers’ final round of cuts and is on the 53-man roster for their season opener Sunday at Minnesota.
“It still hasn’t hit me yet,” Taylor said Monday. “I don’t think it’s going to hit me until we get into the Vikings’ stadium.”
One of the bigger surprises in the Packers’ final roster was that the 6-foot-1 Taylor made it instead of Jake Kumerow, who had caught a touchdown pass each of the last two seasons.
