Packers give Aleric Mullins a shot as free agent

Posted May 2, 2010

That was North Carolina's Aleric Mullins, a quick nose tackle who before the combine expected to be drafted in the fifth or sixth round. At the very least, he seemed to be an attractive free agent. In Indianapolis, doctors found what Mullins described as a "murmur" in his heart. "Once that happened it pretty much red-flagged me," he said Saturday. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
