Packers Sign Draft Choice Coston
posted 05/16/2005
The Green Bay Packers Monday signed guard/center Junius Coston, the club's first of two selections in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL Draft. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, announced the signing.
Coston, a 6-foot-3, 317-pound lineman out of North Carolina A&T, is only the second 2005 draft choice to sign a contract. The St. Louis Rams on April 29 signed defensive back Jerome Carter, a fourth-round choice from Florida State.
A versatile athlete, Coston played center and guard in college, where he earned first-team All-Mid Eastern Athletic Conference honors. The durable Coston started his final 41 college games for an A&T rushing game that averaged 4.5 yards per carry over that span. He is the first of 1,242 Packers draft choices from that school.
The first cousin of new teammate David Martin, Coston is also the first of 11 Packers draft picks under contract. His last name is pronounced COST-un. |
