Cheese Curds, 5/9: Rookies make first impressions on Packers at minicamp

The Green Bay Packers coaching staff got its first hands-on look at the team’s 2022 rookie class this weekend, with 11 draft picks and 14 free agents on hand for rookie minicamp. The group of players in town also included 18 tryout players, who are jockeying for perhaps one roster spot.

The Packers have 89 players currently occupying slots on their 90-man roster, so that one remaining position could end up going to one of the tryout players. So far there has been no word about a signing, but that could well be imminent.

Instead, the Packers did sign eight of their draft picks this weekend, with 7th-rounder Rasheed Walker added on Saturday to the group of seven who signed on Friday.
