It isn't any surprise that since Brett Favre announced he'd be done with football (umm, the fourth time), the quarterback situation with the Packers would be tumultuous.Nobody thought it would get to this. Even with Aaron Rodgers doing whatever he can in Green Bay to win people over, rumors are flying around that the Packers have worked out Duke basketball player Greg Paulus. Yes, that was "Duke basketball player" you just read.
According to PFT ...
Unless Jerry Jones made it clear that he was interested in Roger Clemens backing up Tony Romo this year, Paulus could be the most obscure and random person to contact about a position in the NFL. He was a great football player in high school, but that was four years ago, and barring any A++++ intramural team championship Paulus lead his team to, the Packers have gone a little insane.Paulus is a former high school Gatorade Football Player of the Year selection who was offered football scholarships to Notre Dame and the University of Miami, but chose to play basketball at Duke.
Paulus was a three-year starter for the Blue Devils at point guard who was once named second-team All-ACC. He was a third-team Academic All-American selection.
Right now Green Bay has Matt Flynn, who actually played football at LSU, and Brian Brohm, who was a pigskin member at Louisville, behind Rodgers.
If Paulus works out, I guess that will be one professional sport that Mike Krzyzewski produces good talent to. Zing!
