3. Geronimo Allison, Wide Receiver

Wide Receiver will be one of the most watched position battles this offseason with only Davante Adams and Randall Cobb locked in as starters.

Despite being an undrafted free agent, Geronimo Allison latched onto the roster and will be around again this year. He is currently the presumed favorite to land the number three spot alongside them, as he’s the only receiver after those two that has shown an ability to be a consistent threat and has some rapport with Aaron Rodgers. Unfortunately for him, he experienced a severe regression last season when Rodgers went down and Brett Hundley took over.

When he’s been heavily featured, he’s shown the ability to make plays like he did against the Cincinnati Bengals last season. He doesn’t have the deep speed that the team has been searching for, but he plays similar to Nelson with an ability to use his body to make contested catches. With a full offseason to work as the number three receiver, Allison will be poised for a big year.
