Five former Georgia Tech football players have signed NFL free agent contracts and are attending mini-camps this weekend.

Two players are in camp with the world champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in cornerback Marvious Hester and tight end Will Heller.

All-ACC wide receiver Kerry Watkins has signed with the New England Patriots, and all-ACC placekicker Luke Manget is with the New Orleans Saints.
