(5/16) Former QB Thompson signs With Packers
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Former QB Paul Thompson in Packers' mini-camp: The Green Bay Packers have signed Oklahoma quarterback Paul Thompson, the team said this afternoon. Thompson is already in Green Bay and will be expected to participate in the mandatory minicamp that runs Friday through Sunday.Brett Favre told a reporter earlier this week that he did not plan to attend the minicamp, in part because of family matters and because he is recovering from ankle surgery. If Favre doesn't change his mind, and with backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers rehabilitating from a broken bone in his foot, the Packers would be down to just third-string quarterback Ingle Martin for the weekend. Packers general manager Ted Thompson would not say today whether the team has excused Favre from the camp. Paul Thompson could help out in minicamp right away because he is from Austin, Texas, and has been working out with former Packers quarterback Ty Detmer since before the combine. Detmer has been giving Thompson a crash course on the Packers West Coast offensive system. (JSOnline)
