| Scott Curry |
The Green Bay Packers have signed rookie offensive tackle Scott Curry of Montana, a sixth-round selection in this year's NFL draft, to a multiyear contract, Executive Vice President/General Manager Ron Wolf announced today.
The 6-5, 300-pound Curry was a three-year starter at left tackle, playing a key role as Montana led the nation in passing in 1996 with an average of 339.6 yards per game, and again in 1997, when his team averaged more than 400 yards total offense per game.
Earlier, at Valier, Mont., High School, he earned 11 athletic letters - four each in football and basketball and three in track. He also was an all-state selection in football as a senior.
Curry is the seventh of the Packers' twelve 1999 draft selections to be signed.
'FAMILY NIGHT' TICKET SALES REACH NEW PLATEAU: Nearly 37,000 tickets had been sold for "Packers Family Night, presented by Fox 11," at the close of business Wednesday, Jeff Cieply, Packers marketing director, reported. Scheduled for Saturday night, August 7, in Lambeau Field, the new event will be highlighted by an intrasquad scrimmage, in conjunction with a question-and-answer session with General Manager Ron Wolf and new Head Coach Ray Rhodes, along with an emcee. There also will be a practice jersey giveaway, a fireworks display and a live television broadcast by WLUK-TV. Priced at $6, reserved tickets are available at the Packers' ticket office, at the Brown County Arena ticket office and at all Ticket Star outlets. Tickets also can be purchased over the telephone by calling 920/494-3401 in Green Bay, or, toll free, 800/895-0071 from any other location (there is an additional $4 handling charge on the total order for all phone sales).
