GREEN BAY –Peter Mortell had just sat down to eat lunch when his phone rang on Sunday.
On the line was former Wisconsin punter Drew Meyer, a close friend of Mortell’s who was working the annual National Invitational Scholarship Camp in Wales, Wis.
The Packers’ rookie punter, a former Big Ten punter of the year at Minnesota, had participated in the camp for the past few years with Meyer, former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler and Nebraska’s Sam Foltz, the reigning Big Ten punter of the year.
However, Mortell declined an invitation to this year’s camp with the Packers reporting early to training camp.
