The Green Bay Packers have signed former Oak Creek High School and Utah State safety Marwin Evans to a rookie free agent contract, according to an NFL source.
Evans, a college teammate of Packers third-round pick Kyler Fackrell, had taken part in Seattle Seahawks rookie camp on a tryout basis last weekend. The Seahawks did not sign him and the Packers quickly pounced on him, choosing to sign him to their 53-man roster rather than work him out first.
The 5-11, 211-pound Evans parlayed a terrific pro day workout into interest around the NFL. Evans ran the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds and benched 225 pounds 19 times in his workout at Utah State. He also had a 42-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 10-foot, 1-inch.
The Packers did not announce the signing of Evans, but they did announce a flurry of other moves, including the release of 2013 fifth-round pick Josh Boyd...
