Geronimo Allison will be the Packers No. 3 wide receiver by default to open the 2018 season. 
That probably sounds bad right? Allison has the most important ingredient when it comes to running routes for Aaron Rodgers — trust. As he enters his third season, familiarity is his best friend on an offense that lost one of the game’s best quarterback-to-receiver combinations in Rodgers to Jordy Nelson.
Yet, Allison is still raw and his inconsistencies pop up at the worst possible moments — cue the fumble at Carolina in Week 15 last year. 
The Packers aren’t just looking for marked improvement from the 6-foot-3, 202-pound wideout, they are expecting it. Which is why Green Bay drafted three receivers in this year’s draft.
Equanimeaous St. Brown and J’Mon Moore have a chance to unseat Allison for the No. 3 job but it’s going to take some time. And that means that I’ve signed off of Trevor Davis. He has turned into a matchup and gadget receiver that will excel at special teams.
The biggest problem with Allison is that his speed doesn’t fool anyone. He has shown trouble getting past defenders, which allow them to jump his underneath routes.
The Packers have Davante Adams and Randall Cobb and a bunch of guys at wide receiver. Cobb can still be successful in this league, but his numbers have fallen off a cliff the last two years.
Allison must prove that he can get separation at the line of scrimmage. He must be able to counter his lack of speed with a double move or some new power.
Allison has surprised a lot of people that said he won’t amount to much mainly because he didn’t play his high school football as a sophomore or junior. He’s still learning the intricacies of the game, while trying to master Rodgers’ non-verbals all at the same time.
If that sounds nearly impossible, that’s because it is. Allison must trust Rodgers that he will place the ball where it needs to be and Rodgers must trust Allison that he will be able to get to the precise place.
That’s the best way to simplify it: Trust. And that’s Allison’s best chance of maintaining the starting job.
