GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers signed wide
receiver Cory Rodgers, an All-American kick returner from TCU, on
Tuesday.
The 6-foot, 186-pound Rodgers left TCU after his junior season
as the school's career leader in kickoff return yards (1,747) and
total return yards (2,572). His 4,798 all-purpose yards were second
behind LaDainian Tomlinson (5,499).
Rodgers tied a TCU record with 17 career touchdown receptions
and had 10 TDs rushing. He was drafted in the fourth round, the
104th pick overall.
With Rodgers' signing, the Packers now have seven of their
league-high 12 draft picks under contract.
Linebacker A.J. Hawk , the team's first-round pick and fifth
overall, remains unsigned.
