Packers Sign G/T Pete Campion To Practice Squad
posted 11/27/2002
The Green Bay Packers have signed guard-tackle Pete Campion to the practice squad as a free agent, GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman announced Wednesday.
The 6-4, 307-pound Campion, a three-year starter at right tackle for North Dakota State, was a seventh-round selection of the Carolina Panthers in the 2002 NFL draft, the 213th player chosen. Placed on injured reserve August 8, he was waived August 13 following an injury settlement.
Signed to the St. Louis Rams' 53-man active roster October 16, he was inactive for the Rams' October 20 game against Seattle. Waived October 21, he was signed to the Rams' practice squad October 23 and waived November 1. He had been out of football since.
The only lineman selected in the draft by Carolina, Campion was a Little All-America selection and All-North Central Conference choice as a senior. He also was named the outstanding offensive lineman in the Cactus Bowl, a college all-star game that features players from Division II and III as well, as the top NAIA performers.
Earlier, Campion was a four-year starter on the offensive and defensive lines at Ferguson Falls, Minn., High School, where he was elected team captain and named the team's most valuable player as a senior. He also lettered in wrestling, a sport in which he was an All-America selection and the 1998 Minnesota state heavyweight champion.
The newcomer has been assigned jersey number 64.
Wide receiver/kick returner J.J. Moses has been released from the practice squad in a related move. |
