Colt Lyerla

The 6-foot-4, 242-pound tight end was viewed as a potential first-round pick not too long ago, but the last time he played in a game was September 2013. Lyerla was suspended by Oregon for missing multiple practices. He then quit the squad, started using drugs, and got arrested for possession of cocaine. At the Combine, Lyerla blazed a 4.61 forty with a 39-inch vertical and 10-foot-8 broad jump. He has natural hands and a large catch radius (32 3/4-inch arms).

Lyerla finished his college career with 34 catches for 565 yards (16.6 YPR) and 11 touchdowns

The two early candidates for newest fan favorites are receiver Jared Abbrederis and tight end Colt Lyerla. They drew some of the loudest cheers from the crowd that watched practice. It should be no surprise that Abbrederis was well received given that he grew up in Wisconsin and played for the Badgers. But the response to Lyerla, the troubled former Oregon tight end who went undrafted because of off-the-field concerns, was a bit more surprising.

When the 2014 Packers practiced in public for the first time Thursday, Lyerla drew the loudest cheer at Ray Nitschke Field when he reached high to haul in an overthrown pass.

who is the TE in Green Bay that he has to compete against?

Guy I like if healthy is Travis Kelce. Alex smith rarely throws the ball past the first down marker. I believe rotoworld stated he threw past it less than any qb in the league. McGrath and fasanos numbers combined were respectable and Kelce offers much more talent than those two. I really like his upside if healthy. Micro fracture knee injury last season and hasn't participated in otas. I will be monitoring their preseason heavily.
