With Jermichael Finley no longer on the Green Bay Packers roster, there was some uncertainty going into training camp as to who would eventually emerge with the starting tight end job.

While Andrew Quarless was the most tenured player on the Packers roster, some believed it would be Brandon Bostick who’d eventually win the competition. Not only did that not happen but Bostick has struggled during practice for the Green Bay Packers and isn’t seeing the field because he doesn’t know the offense.

"Fontenot made it clear that if it were just a matter of Bostick running pass routes from a slot position, things would be different. But the tight ends have to block and run routes from an in-line position, line up wide as a receiver and serve as fullbacks on some running plays.They probably have to know more about the offense than everybody but Rodgers. Fontenot said he would not put Bostick in the game without some mystery as to what he was going to do."

Brandon Bostick is the most similar to Jermichael Finley in regards to his physical ability which is why many thought the young tight end would take the job and run with it. But a preseason injury combined with the mental struggles have seemingly put him at the bottom of the Green Bay Packers depth chart.

The team isn’t giving up on Bostick though and hopes he can contribute down the line.
