Allison, a former Illinois football standout, failed to get drafted in the 2016 NFL Draft. But, after all, the dust settled, he ended up getting signed by the Green Bay Packers in free agency.
The deal that Allison signed was 3-years, 1.62-million dollars. He still had a lot of work left to do to just make the roster, though.
Allison managed to make the team but was relegated to the practice squad. This was better than being cut, but the ultimate goal of playing on Sunday’s still had yet to come to fruition.
This past weekend things all changed, though.
