After Rookie Camp, Packers Sign Receiver Who Took Long Road to NFL

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have signed receiver Julian Hicks, one of 18 players who participated in the rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.

His signing was reported by The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein. A source confirmed the signing to Packer Central, who noted Hicks’ size and speed. The Packers didn’t draft a receiver, nor did they sign one immediately after the draft, so Hicks will be the main addition.

As a graduate student at Albany in 2023, Hicks caught 50 passes for 820 yards (16.4 average) and 11 touchdowns. A big chunk of the production came in back-to-back game against New Hampshire and Rhode Island, with four catches for 162 yards and two touchdowns and seven catches for 188 yards and two more touchdowns in those games.
