GREEN BAY – Davon House knew the reality of his situation as soon as the Packers cornerback left the field on Jan. 11, 2015.
The Packers, having just defeated the Dallas Cowboys, were bound for the NFC Championship Game in Seattle. A free-agent-to-be, House took a break from the excitement and jubilation to recognize what might have been his last game in front of nearly 80,000 fans at Lambeau Field.
“I walked off the field with Tramon Williams and I said to myself, ‘I’m going to miss this,’” House recalled on Saturday.
Green Bay is where House grew up.
