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 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.

Coach Mike McCarthy said after practice that the Packers are "looking to bring back approximately four" of the 19, so 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 longshot — because of his NCAA Division III background and lack of ideal size (5-foot-7, 191 pounds) — he left it having made an impression on 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 everybody there and felt good about that. I gave it my all and that's all I could've done."
