GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Maybe it's a coincidence, but two days after another woeful special teams performance, the Green Bay Packers worked out the son of one of the NFL's all-time best special teams players.

The Packers on Tuesday put receiver Luke Tasker, son of former Buffalo Bills standout Steve Tasker, through a workout at their facility, according to a source with access to NFL tryout lists. They also worked out cornerback Vernon Kearney of Lane College.

Luke Tasker, who played a Cornell, has spent the last two seasons in the Canadian Football League. He caught 72 passes for 937 yards and five touchdowns for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats this past season. He also returned punts and kickoffs. Luke Tasker signed with the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2013 but did not make the team.

Steve Tasker made the Pro Bowl seven times as a special teams player during his NFL career and has been a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012 and 2013.

The Packers special teams allowed a punt return for a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Bills and also had a field goal blocked. They have had six kicks blocked -- two field goals, two extra points and two punts -- this season.
