Brandon Bostick, the player at the center of the Green Bay Packers’ lost onside kick in the NFC Championship Game, was released by the Packers on Monday.

The former Division II receiver spent three years with the Packers, who tried to develop him as a tight end. He caught nine passes for 123 and two touchdowns while playing behind Andrew Quarless and Richard Rodgers.

Bostick became a household name among NFL fans nationwide for his botched recovery of an onside kick late in regulation time of the NFC title game on Jan. 18. It allowed the Seattle Seahawks to rally from 12 points down in the final few minutes and win in overtime, 28-22.

As the Seahawks kicked off after cutting the deficit to 19-14 with 2:09 left, Bostick was supposed to block, allowing Jordy Nelson to catch the ball. But the ball bounced right to Bostick, who tried and failed to secure it. Seattle’s Chris Matthews recovered, and the Seahawks scored the go-ahead touchdown four plays later.

The Packers tied it with a 48-yard field goal by Mason Crosby with 14 seconds left, but Seattle won the overtime coin toss and drove 87 yards in six plays, winning on a 35-yard pass from Russell Wilson to Jermaine Kearse.

On Jan. 30, the Packers fired special-teams coach Shawn Slocum, who was seen berating Bostick on the sideline after the onside kick.

On Monday, Bostick announced his release via Twitter (edited): “Thankful to spend the first three years of my career in Green Bay. Unfortunately my time there has ended. I appreciate the support from everyone in Green Bay!”
