The Packers have signed 2020 fifth-round draft choice Kamal Martin, announcing the news themselves Thursday afternoon.
Martin, a 6-foot-3, 240-pound linebacker from the University of Minnesota, was the 175th overall pick in this spring’s draft. Over four seasons with the Golden Gophers, Martin appeared in 40 games, recording 106 solo tackles, 3.5 sacks, and four interceptions.
Due to a knee injury during his final season at Minnesota, Martin did not test at the NFL Combine and his pro day was canceled due to the ongoing pandemic. But he told Packers media earlier this spring he believes the injury won’t slow him down this season.
