GREEN BAY – Geronimo Allison was disappointed but undeterred when he found out his fate during the Packers’ final round of roster cuts at the end of training camp.
The undrafted rookie receiver out of Illinois hoped a strong preseason in which he led the offense with six catches for 119 yards would catapult him onto the 53-man roster.
Yet, Allison wasn’t disenchanted when he was informed the Packers were waiving him. Instead of testing the waters elsewhere in the NFL, Allison signed to Green Bay’s practice squad the next day with the goal of finishing what he started.
