Professional career
Green Bay Packers He was signed by the Packers as an undrafted free agent on May 30, 2012. Bostick spent his entire rookie season in 2012 on the practice squad. He recorded his first NFL touchdown catch on November 10, 2013, against the Philadelphia Eagles, on a 22-yard pass from Scott Tolzien, in a play that was also Tolzien's first career touchdown pass. Bostick finished the 2013 season with 7 receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown in 11 games. In the NFC Championship Game against the Seattle Seahawks on January 18, 2015, with slightly over 2 minutes remaining and the Packers leading 19–14, Bostick, the Packers' third-string tight end, misplayed a Seahawks onside kick by ignoring his blocking assignment and stepping in front of All-Pro receiver Jordy Nelson who was assigned to catch and was waiting for the ball. The ball bounced off Bostick's helmet and was recovered by Seahawks wide receiver Chris Matthews. In the ensuing drive, the Seahawks scored a touchdown and a two-point conversion to go ahead 22–19. Mason Crosby made a game-tying field goal with 14 seconds left, but Seattle won 28–22 in overtime. Bostick was widely credited in both Wisconsin and National sports media as having made a Bill Buckner-type mistake costing his team a chance for a championship.
