After going undrafted, former Texas A&M WR Speedy Noil is getting a shot a making an NFL roster.
Rob Demovsky of ESPN uploaded a rookie camp roster for the Green Bay Packets. Noil is listed on the roster as No. 81 with an asterisk next to his name, indicating he is a tryout player.

Noil’s draft stock was likely hurt by multiple off-the-field issues during his Aggies career. He notably missed the 2015 Music City Bowl and 2016 season opener and was suspended again in December for misdemeanor marijuana possession. If Noil can stay out of trouble, Green Bay may be getting a bargain. Noil posted the highest vertical jump, 43.5 inches, at the NFL Scouting Combine.
In his three-year career, Noil made 88 catches for 1,134 yards and nine touchdowns. Last year, Noil recorded 21 catches for 325 yards and two touchdowns. His best season came in 2014, when he had 46 catches for 583 yards and five touchdowns.
