Joe Werner

Werner, 6'6", 260 lbs, 4.6/40 will be trying out for the Packers at the TE position. He hasn't played ball in 8 years but was a standout for the LaCrosse bball team and is said to be very athletic. lets hope he does well cause with his speed, he could help us greatly against the Tampa 2.

Is this the "white chocolate" version of Antonio Gates? :?:

[packinpatland]

Eight years is a long time, how old is he? And where's he been?

[b bulldog]

I think he is 22 and he has been playing hoops at UW-LaCrosse.

So this kid hasn't played any ball since he was 16???

Even Vince Paopali(sp?) played 'sand lot' ball before trying out for the Eagles.

[Spaulding]

Put up something like only 14 reps of 225 so I would think he'll have problems in the blocking assignments they give him until he beefs up.

He doesn't really have that far to go though. Most of the TE's in the draft were mid-teens to low 20's. Zach Miller did 16. Olson did 23.

He will most definitely be a project but his numbers are tantalizing.
