  Packers | Five stand out    Sun May 25, 09:10 AM

Green Bay Packers S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, C Corey Linsley, DT Khyri Thornton, WR Davante Adams and WR Jared Abbrederis stood out to the coaches in the recent minicamp.

Footballguys view: The Packers have a talented group of rookies to watch. We like Adams for his fearlessness when running routes over the middle. Abbrederis is a sharp route-runner who has the footwork and body control to work near the sideline. With James Jones moving on in free agency, the team has an open spot on the depth chart behind Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb.

  Packers | Roster moves    Mon May 19, 06:28 PM

The Green Bay Packers signed undrafted free-agent S Charles X. Clay (Hawaii), TE Colt Lyerla (Oregon) and DE Luther Robinson (Miami) Monday, May 19. Also, the team signed third-round draft pick DE Khyri Thornton to an undisclosed four-year deal and released TE Raymond Webber. Per NFL rules, undrafted free agents all receive three-year deals.

Footballguys view: Lyerla is the player to watch here. He has amazing talent as a move tight end with the speed to stretch the vertical seam. Problems with cocaine during his time in college at Oregon caused him to go undrafted. If he stays clean, Lyerla could be a dangerous player on the Packers offense.
