2004 3rd-round pick Donnell Washington stretches inside the Hutson Center during last year's mini-camp.
We don't yet know which of the fresh faces of the NFL Draft class of 2005 will soon be smiling inside of Packers helmets, but the team announced Thursday when those players will be hitting the practice field for the first time as professional football players.
The Packers will hold their annual post-draft mini-camp, both for veterans and rookies, beginning the Wednesday following next weekend's selection process. Work for the veteran players will run from Wednesday, April 27 through Sunday, May 1, with the rookies joining the fray on Friday, April 29.
The practice sessions are scheduled to be held on the FieldTurf of Ray Nitschke Field and will be open to the public, weather permitting.
However, if the spring weather patterns force the team inside the Don Hutson Center, practices will be closed.
Here's a look at the practice schedule:
Wednesday, April 27
11:00 a.m. (veterans)
Thursday, April 28
11:00 a.m. (veterans)
Friday, April 29
