The Green Bay Packers have signed rookie defensive lineman Cletidus Hunt of Kentucky State, their second selection in the third round of this year's National Football League draft, to a multiyear contract, Executive Vice President/General Manager Ron Wolf announced today.

A high-intensity player, he also intercepted one pass and deflected five others.
Hunt, whose first name is pronounced "CLEE-dee-us," closed out his two-year Kentucky State tenure with 94 total tackles (56 solo), including 12 quarterback sacks and 36 for loss. He also forced 2 fumbles and was credited with 5 passes defensed.
He earlier was a two-year letter winner at North West Mississippi Junior College and was named Mississippi JUCO "Defensive Player of the Year' as a sophomore.
Hunt is the tenth of the Packers' twelve 1999 draft selections to be signed.
