The Green Bay Packers signed third-round draft pick Aaron Rouse (Safety - Virginia Tech) to a four-year deal yesterday. He becomes the second Packers rookie to sign so far this offseason; the first being fifth-round pick David Clowney, also out of Virginia Tech.

Rouse, a 6'4", 223-pound former college linebacker, has been impressive so far this offseason and many believe he could actually beat out Marquand Manuel for the starting job.

A pre-draft scouting report indicates that Rouse is extremely quick for his size, has a great burst and plays with a non-stop motor. He's also considered to be very tenacious out on the field and could translate into a huge hitter. Sounds like a good guy to lock up for a few years.

No additional financial details were disclosed.
