GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers will have a kicking competition. And it might not involve veteran Mason Crosby.
The Packers on Tuesday signed Dominik Eberle, a record-setting former teammate of Jordan Love at Utah State and a native of Nuremberg, Germany. Eberle, who was coached by new Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia with the Raiders, joins Crosby and JJ Molson on the roster.
Eberle set seven Mountain West Conference records at Utah State, where he combined a big leg with accuracy. The accuracy: He made all 167 extra points in his career (one of his MWC records) and 21-of-24 field goals as a senior.
