Packers sign WR Darrius Shepherd after rookie minicamp, per report

Heading into the team’s rookie minicamp over the weekend, the Green Bay Packers signed several of their draft picks and eleven undrafted free agents. Combined with a few additional recent roster transactions, the Packers’ 90-man roster sat at 88 members in advance of the camp, while 20 players attended minicamp on a tryout basis.

One of those two open spots is now accounted for. According to Bill Huber of 247sports, the Packers are signing wide receiver Darrius Shepherd from North Dakota State.

Unlike the other wide receivers on the Packers’ roster, Shepherd is a smaller player, reportedly measuring in at 5-foot-10 1/2 and 186 pounds at NDSU’s Pro Day this spring.
