GREEN BAY -- Justin Beaver has no idea what's going to happen next, but the former UW-Whitewater star and Green Bay Packers hopeful knows one thing for sure: He gave it his all.

 ``I've been thinking about that a lot lately,'' Beaver said Sunday afternoon. ``I go by this: If you give everything you've got, you can't have any regrets. That's what I live by. We'll see what happens.''

 Beaver, one of the 19 players who participated in the Packers' three-day post-draft rookie orientation camp on a tryout-only basis, will find out sometime in the next three days whether he did enough to merit a contract. After the final practice of the camp ended Sunday, Packers director of pro personnel Reggie McKenzie gathered the group together in the team meeting room and told them the non-news.

 Waiting will indeed be the hardest part.

 ``It is, but I'm going to try to relax,'' Beaver said. ``I've got some schoolwork to do, I can do some other things to keep my mind off it. And I'll keep working out.''

 While the former Palmyra-Eagle athlete came into the camp as an NFL long-shot -- because of his Division III background and lack of ideal size (5-foot-7, 191 pounds) -- he left it having made an impression on coach Mike McCarthy and running backs coach Edgar Bennett.

 ``I'll tell you what, he's been very impressive. He's done a very nice job,'' McCarthy said of Beaver, who set the WIAC career rushing record with 6,584 yards and won last year's Gagliardi Trophy (the Division III equivalent of the Heisman). ``He plays with a lot of energy, very quick, explosive. Does he have a shot? That's something actually we'll discuss. But I would love for him to have an opportunity, because he's been impressive.''

 Beaver said he didn't get much of that directly from McCarthy -- ``Most of the feedback I got has been through what he told the papers,'' Beaver said -- but his own self-evaluation was slightly less glowing.

 ``I'm a straight shooter, I thought the first day and third day went really well, especially the last day. I couldn't have done better,'' Beaver said. ``I made some things happen that got (Bennett) pretty jacked up. The second day, every back had a lot of mental errors, so we all could've done better. But I gave it my all. I definitely tried to out work everyody there and felt good about that. I gave it my all and that's all I could've done.''
