So we couldn't just have him in for a tryout?...stupid FO.
Ex-Oregon TE Colt Lyerla is participating in Packers rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.
Lyerla went undrafted last weekend. The 6-foot-4, 242-pound tight end was once viewed as a potential first-round pick not too long ago, but the last time he played in a game was September 2013. Lyerla was suspended by the team for missing multiple practices. He then quit the squad, started using drugs, and then got arrested for possession of cocaine. At the Combine, Lyerla blazed a 4.61 forty, posted a 39-inch vertical, and 10-foot-8 broad jump. He has natural hands and a large catch radius (32 3/4-inch arms). If Lyerla can get his head on straight, catching passes from Aaron Rodgers wouldn't be a bad gig. The tight end depth chart in Green Bay is wide open.
