GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers are giving a Wisconsin native a shot to make their roster.

They signed defensive back Kyle Sebetic on Wednesday.

The 6-foot, 197-pound Sebetic played at the University of Dayton but is from Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin and went to Kenosha Tremper High School.

He spent last summer in training camp with the New York Giants but was released on Aug. 26. He came back to Giants as a member of their practice squad for one week in November but has been out of the NFL since Nov. 11, when the Giants cut him from their practice squad.

Sebetic played cornerback in college at Dayton, but the Giants moved him to safety. Indications are the Packers likely will play him at safety as well.

The Packers saw Sebetic at last weekend’s NFL veterans combine in Tempe, Arizona. Considered a street free agent because he was released during the season, Sebetic is the first roster addition from outside the organization that the Packers have made since free agency opened on March 10.
