The Green Bay Packers have signed G/T Marshall Newhouse, RB James Starks and DE C.J. Wilson. The signings were announced by the Packers today.
Newhouse, the second of the team’s two fifth-round draft picks, was a three-year starter at left tackle for TCU. He appeared in 52 career games, including 38 starts.
Starks, a sixth-round selection, became Buffalo’s all-time leading rusher in just three collegiate seasons. He missed the 2009 campaign due to injury. He also holds the school record for rushing touchdowns and points scored.
Wilson, a seventh-round pick, was a four-year letterman at East Carolina. In 54 career games, including 37 starts to close out his collegiate career, he tallied 192 tackles, including 45 1/2 for loss, and 27 sacks. He earned first-team All-Conference USA honors each of his final two seasons.
The rookies are the first three of the Packers’ seven draft picks to sign with the team.
