Former Panthers Star Ben Ericksen Signs With Green Bay Packers
Ericksen was a star wide receiver in high school before converting to safety at Illinois State University. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Packers over the weekend.
Updated 7 p.m. April 29 In his final year at Greendale High School, Ben Ericksen was named the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year, Woodland Conference Player of the Year and the CNI/NOW Newspapers All-Suburban Player of the Year after leading all Wisconsin players with 1,335 receiving yards and 19 touchdown catches. Now, he’s trying to catch on with the Green Bay Packers. Ericksen was a handful of players signed as undrafted free agents by the Packers following the 2013 NFL Draft over the weekend. "Greendale is extremely proud to say this is where it all began for him," Greendale varsity football coach Rob Stoltz said. Ericksen, a 6-foot, 1-inch, 200-pound free safety at Illinois State University, is still Greendale’s school record-holder…

What Time is the Packers-49ers Playoff Game?
After tossing aside Minnesota, the Green Bay Packers head to San Francisco to take on the 49ers next week.
A rematch of the Week 1 of the NFL season is set for the second round of the NFC Playoffs, as the Green Bay Packers visit the San Francisco 49ers. The game kicks off at 7 p.m. CST Saturday and will be broadcast locally on FOX 6. San Francisco, the No. 2 seed, beat up the Packers in Green Bay to open the season with a 30-22 win. But Colin Kaepernick is now San Francisco’s starting quarterback, having replaced Alex Smith midway through the season. And David Akers, who kicked an NFL record-tying 63-yard field goal in the September game, is at risk of losing his job after slumping. Billy Cundiff practiced with the team last week. The Packers defeated the Minnesota Vikings 24-10 in the first round of the playoffs, taking a 24-3 lead against …

What Time is the Packers-Vikings Playoff Game?
Green Bay hosts Minnesota at Lambeau Field in the third game of the season between the NFC North rivals.
After failing to stop Adrian Peterson twice, the Green Bay Packers will be invited to do so again on Saturday in the first round of the NFL Playoffs. The Packers host the Minnesota Vikings at 7 p.m. Saturday, and the game will be broadcast locally on Today’s TMJ 4. Peterson thrashed Green Bay for 199 yards on Sunday, including a final, 26-yard run to make easy the game-winning, 29-yard field goal in the 37-34 triumph that put Minnesota into the playoffs. The performance was just four weeks after he rushed for 210 yards in Green Bay in a 23-14 Packers win. The Packers try to counter with offense and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. His final three games of the regular season were impeccable — 78 of 114 passing (68.4 percent), 998 yards, 10 …

I really hope the Pacers give him a real shot at making the team, they need a safety. Ben reminds me of Jim Leonhard former Badger who played for the Jets and was the same height and weight as Ben is. The big plus for both of them is they have a lot of heart. Good luck Ben.. more ›
