Packer 2014 Rookie Tryout Camp

58 players are attending the Packer 2014 rookie camp!  That is all the draft choices (9), the players not drafted, but signed by the Packers, and other players!

One of the chances the Pack is taking is on the University of Oregon player - Colt Lyeria

While Lyerla's character history presents a major issue for the NFL, his track record as a player and athlete are difficult to ignore. At 6-4 and 242 pounds, he ran a 4.61 40-yard dash at the combine and was considered one of the best athletes at his position available in the draft. In 2012, his last full season at Oregon under Kelly, he caught 25 passes for 392 yards and six touchdowns.

This  is a second chance for a young man that made a BIG mistake!  The mistake:

In the weeks after his dismissal from Oregon for a violation of team rules last year, Lyerla was charged with cocaine possession and compounded the problem by running from police. 

Wow!  Hope this young man has turned things around!

Out of 58, can the Packers get 10 players?  Hope so!
