Offensive lineman to work out
The Packers are looking at offensive lineman Peter Fields, according to the Indoor Football League team that Fields plays for.

The Odessa (Texas) Roughnecks said that the 6-foot-10 and 325 pound Fields will work out at Lambeau Field today.

"I got the word from my agent Monday evening about the workout and I’m absolutely thrilled about the opportunity," Field said. "There will be more information coming my way regarding the workout but right now this is an exciting moment for me and everything regarding my professional football career."

Fields is a native of Great Britain and played the last two seasons in the IFL. It does not appear that he played college football in the United States.

Published on: 2/18/2008 Last Visited: 2/18/2008
ODESSA, TX. : The Odessa Roughnecks are pleased to announce the signing of Offensive Lineman Peter Fields for the 2008 season.Fields (6'10", 340 lbs.) was scouted by the Roughnecks at the John Lestini Group Free Agent Tryout held in Mobile, Alabama during Senior Bowl week in late January.

Peter is a native of Great Britain and currently lives in the UK.Peter has an outstanding background in athletics.He was a standout rugby player as well as a boxer during his early years.

Fields, 26, just recently made the switch to American Football and has picked up the game extremely quickly because of his incredible athleticism.Peter played with the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europe in 2006.

"Peter is an extremely gifted athlete.We think he is a guy that has the initial tools to become a great player.For a man who is 6'10" he has great feet.He is not stiff like you would expect and he plays with good body leverage which is another thing you don't see in people that tall.Right now I am thinking that with Courtney Abbot (Florida State) at 6'9" and Peter at 6'10" we should have the foundation of a very solid offensive line.

this Mutha is one big ol boy. And it says that he weighs 340lbs not 325 as reported by GBPG.

Oh jolly good, cheerio ol chap - he's a Brit too. And a former Boxer. Diamond in the rough perhaps?

He played Rugby......that is all we need to know. I bet he could kick as well.

Good Grief! How is the QB supposed to see around or over THAT ?? !!

I can see it now. 1st and goal to go. Peter Fields comes in at TE, Rodgers drops back, throws the ball straight up, Fields catches it....TOUCHDOWN!

Is McCarthy trying to "One Up" Shermans Ol' U71 (Bacon!) formation?

That guy will need to limbo to get his pad level right.

Dude says (in a british accent - duh) "I don't think there's anyone out there that I would find hard to block"

Dude is ripped too. I was expecting a flabby fat boy.

It would be nice to have one of these cinderella stories work out for a change--but looking at him doesn't say much for the confidence the Pack has in their current roster.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. You always need developmental/Practice Squad type guys on the OL, so why not take a flyer on some guy with the physical tools?

I mean, we had guys like Atlas Herrion and Orrin Thompson on the PS for how many years? It's not as though we have many offensive lineman who are PS elligible/would make it through waivers.

[red]

well, this would be the definition of "beef on the line"

thats a good thing, get rid of the small, finesse junk

and i second patlers thought. how the hell are you suppose to throw over the guy?

I kept waiting for the guy to say, "NEXT SUNDAY, THE 24 INCH PYTHONS WILL COME CRASHING DOWN ON YOU....SO KIDS, DRINK YOUR MILK AND EAT YOUR VITAMINS....HULK-A-MANIA IS RUNNING WILD!"
