Packers, Mike Neal Agree to Terms
By admin
Green Bay Packers second-round defensive lineman Mike Neal announced on Twitter that he had agreed to terms.
Those terms were not disclosed, but Neal did implore first-round offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga to do the same.
"Agreed to terms! Let's go @BBulaga!", Neal tweeted.
A two-year starter at Purdue University, Neal totaled 99 tackles, including 26 for a loss and 13 quarterback sacks, from the “3” technique defensive tackle position during his career.
The 6-3, 294-pounder ran well (4.8-40) at the Combine, and put up 31 reps on the 225-pound bench press.
A tough, hard-nosed player, Neal will play the “5” technique end position in the Packers’ 3-4 defense. With Johnny Jolly’s season-long suspension, Neal will be looked at to provide immediate depth behind starters Ryan Pickett and Cullen Jenkins
