Last weekend, the Green Bay Packers held their annual rookie orientation camp, hosting the team’s draft picks and undrafted free agent signees for their first batch of practices with the team. However, there were also 16 players in attendance who were not under contract with the Packers.
Of these tryout players, two earned spots on the Packers’ 90-man roster following camp. Tight end Ryan Smith from Miami University and linebacker Greer Martini from Notre Dame both landed contracts and will remain in Green Bay moving forward.
Aside from also being a cocktail, Martini’s name was entirely unknown to those of us at Acme Packing Company before last weekend, and so we caught up with Joshua Vowles, site manager of the SB Nation Notre Dame blog One Foot Down and Green Bay Packers fan, to find out more about Martini and what he will bring to the Packers.
