With one open spot remaining on the 90-man roster after rookie minicamp and the signing of wide receiver Darrius Shepherd, most Green Bay Packers fans likely expected the team to offer a contract to one of the other 19 players who attended the camp on a tryout basis. Instead, the Packers are signing a cornerback who recently received a pink slip from a previous NFL team.
Following a successful college career at Georgia State, Chandon Sullivan went undrafted in 2018. He landed with the Philadelphia Eagles immediately as a rookie free agent, however, and made the team’s practice squad out of training camp.
