The Green Bay Packers signed former Carlton and Collingwood ruckman, Chris Bryan, 6'5'' 210lbs, to a 3 year non-guaranteed contract. He will be competing for the punter position against another recruit Tim Masthay. The two will go head to head in the Packer's August training camp. If he Bryan makes it he will join 2 other former AFL players, former Collingwood and North Melbourne player, Sav Rocca, who punts for the Philadelphia Eagles, former Geelong Captain Ben Graham who punts for the Arizona Cardinals, and the Dallas Cowboy's Mat McBriar who played footy but not in the AFL and was recruited through the University of Hawaii.
Bryan was recruited through Nathan Chapman's Prokick Australia. Chapman, a former Brisbane and Hawthorn player, helps Australian players looking to make the NFL or College football as punters or kickers. According to the program they have placed 3 students to US colleges with full scholarships, a player to Arena football and now a student to the NFL.
