Packers say rookie WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling will start in place of Randall Cobb, who is inactive.

Does that mean he jumps over Geronimo Allison or is it just Allison does better at WR3 and they don't wanna mess with whats working?

They've already repeatedly run articles in which he has complained that he's not used to being on the bench and that he never expected it to take this long to get his moment in the sun. 😂

More practice and experience and the above isn't an issue.

They call him "the German hero" and "the great German hope," among other such maudlin nicknames. Historically, American football hasn't been terribly relevant in Germany, meaning German writers are desperate for any juicy tidbit to pump up the fans at home.
