Fleming's history as a standout football player
After going undrafted last month, Julian Fleming was expected to sign as a free agent with the Green Bay Packers, but the team pulled its offer after Fleming failed a physical.
Prior to playing his senior year at Penn State, Fleming spent four seasons in Columbus playing wide receiver at Ohio State University.
Fleming joined the Buckeyes as the No. 1 wide receiver recruit in the country following a stellar high school career at Southern Columbia High School where he set PIAA records for receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.
