The Green Bay Packers have signed punter Ryan Dougherty, a non-drafted rookie free agent out of East Carolina. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, announced the signing Friday.

The Orlando, Fla., product also served as the team's kickoff specialist his junior and senior seasons, accounting for 47 touchbacks. Dougherty was a three-time watch list candidate for the Ray Guy Award, presented to the nation's best college punter.

The 6-foot-1, 233-pound player will wear No. 8.
