GREEN BAY, Wis. – In addition to the 17 undrafted free agents the Green Bay Packers signed, they invited 25 players to their rookie orientation camp for tryouts.

The most noteworthy among them was former Alabama quarterback Blake Sims, who began his college career as a running back and started only one season (2014) at quarterback.

There's one local player among the group: Iowa defensive lineman Mike Hardy, who is from nearby Appleton (Kimberly High School).

Here's a look at the tryout players by position:

The Packers currently have 88 players on their roster, including their eight draft picks. That means they have room for two more players. Last year, the Packers signed three of their tryout players – tight end Colt Lyerla, defensive back Charles Clay and defensive end Luther Robinson (who ended up playing in five games last season).
