GREEN BAY – Running back Tyler Ervin became a member of the Green Bay Packers because the team was in dire need of a returner last year.
He got his first chance on offense because Jamaal Williams was out with a shoulder injury in the second-to-last game of the season.
After hitting free agency in March, Ervin signed a one-year, $1.047 million contract, including a $137,000 signing bonus, because the Packers were interested in seeing more.
Through the first two days of training camp, it’s obvious the Packers are convinced Ervin can help them in multiple ways.
