The end of the draft signals the beginning of the undrafted free-agent signing frenzy. The Packers added sixteen to the roster. After a defense heavy draft, the undrafted rookies are almost all offensive players. The additions include another handful of wide receivers, which should make Aaron Rodgers very happy. Competition will be fierce for these guys to find a roster spot on a loaded team but who knows, maybe the next Sam Shields is in the mix.
Here is a list of those 16 players the Packers have signed so far (according to Press-Gazette):
Wide receivers: Javess Blue, Kentucky; Ricky Collins, Texas A&M-Commerce; Adrian Coxson, Stony Brook; Jimmie Hunt, Missouri; Larry Pinkard, Old Dominion.
Running backs: Malcolm Agnew, Southern Illinois; John Crockett, North Dakota State; Alonzo Harris, Louisiana-Lafayette; Raymond Maples, Army.
Tight end: Mitchell Henry, Western Kentucky.
Offensive linemen: Fabbians Ebbele, Arizona; Matt Rotheram, Pittsburgh; Marcus Reed, Fayetteville State.
Defensive tackle: Lavon Hooks, Mississippi.
Outside linebacker: Tavarus Dantzler, Bethune-Cookman.
Cornerback: Bernard Blake, Colorado State.
Players invited to Green Bay on a tryout are Alabama quarterback Blake Sims, Buffalo offensive lineman Jake Silas, Colorado State-Pueblo defensive lineman Josh Bredl, and BYU defensive back Skye PoVey.
Go Pack I hope you have enough strength to take care of those receivers out there. Seattle has alot of speed, they can eat us up real fast. So work hard boys. I am on your side for life. GO PAC
