The Green Bay Packers signed the troubled, but talented Lyerla after a tryout last offseason. You immediately anointed him a Hall of Famer, based, we imagine, on his freakish athleticism. Then he injured his knee in August and the Packers ended up releasing him, while pretending they might bring him back after his injury healed.
Predictably, the Packers did not bring Lyerla back. Predictably, a guy with a history of substance abuse issues left to his own devices got into trouble with the law for abusing substances.
Well, that’s all in the past now and Lyerla want another shot.
