POSTED: 7:12 pm CDT July 27, 2008

(Sports Network) - The Green Bay Packers signed three of their second-round draft picks on Sunday, including wide receiver Jordy Nelson.

Nelson, the 36th pick overall, was a consensus All-America selection last season and one of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award after hauling in 122 receptions for 1,606 yards and 11 touchdowns with Kansas State. He also returned two punts for touchdowns and threw two touchdown passes.

Green Bay also signed quarterback Brian Brohm and cornerback Pat Lee on Sunday.

Brohm, the 56th pick, was a three-year starter at Louisville and finished his career as the Big East's all-time leader in passing yards (10,775) and completions (780). He led the Big East in total offense and passing for three consecutive seasons.

Lee, the 60th choice, led Auburn last season with 12 passes defensed and was tied for the team lead with four interceptions.
