Tim Terry
Pro Personnel Assistant

Terry, a former NFL linebacker, enters his third season with the Packers' pro personnel department after joining the team on Oct. 11, 2004. His primary duties are scouting professional prospects in the NFL, NFL Europa, Canadian Football League and Arena Football League, working under Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson. He also is involved with in-season advance scouting of upcoming Packers opponents.

The 33-year-old Terry originally signed as a non-drafted free agent out of Temple with the Cincinnati Bengals in 1997. As a rookie, he saw action in five games, logging three stops and five special teams tackles. Terry spent the 1998 season on the team's practice squad.

In 1999, he went to camp with the Kansas City Chiefs, but was released and subsequently signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL, helping that club to a Grey Cup championship.

Terry joined the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad in early 2000 before being elevated to the active roster on Nov. 10, and finished the season by playing in six games, collecting two special teams stops and forcing a fumble on a kickoff return.

Terry saw action in all 16 Seahawks games each of the following two seasons (2001-02), with his best professional campaign coming in 2002, when he took over as a starter for the final eight games after Chad Brown (broken foot) was lost to injury. That year, he posted a career-high 42 tackles, including one sack, plus one pass defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

He was released by the Seahawks during training camp of 2003. His NFL career included 43 games played (eight starts), 55 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, plus 19 special teams stops.

Collegiately, Terry saw action in all 44 collegiate games (43 starts) during his four seasons at Temple, playing as a defensive lineman and finishing his career with 208 tackles. As a senior, he started all 11 games despite a groin pull, and made 56 tackles with five sacks and a team-high 11 QB pressures.

Terry holds a B.S. degree in political science with a minor in African-American studies.

An all-state selection at Hempstead (N.Y.) High School, he also lettered in track, basketball and lacrosse.

Born in Long Island, N.Y., Terry resides in Green Bay. He has a daughter, Zoe, 5, and a son, Timothy II, 3. In his spare time, he enjoys playing pool, golf and basketball.
