It’s Thursday again, so that means we’re going to take a few minutes to meet one of the members of the Vikings defense. (For the offensive player profile of the week, visit http://vikings.sportsbloggingnetwork.com/) Vikings fans: Meet Chad Greenway!
Chad Greenway was the 17th overall pick of the 2006 NFL draft, and he’s a personal favorite of mine on the defensive squad because I watched him closely for 4 seasons as an Iowa Hawkeye.
He began his career in Minnesota by playing on the special teams during the opening kick off of the first pre-season game. Unfortunately for Greenway, he tore his ACL on that play and had to sit out his entire rookie year. He rebounded strongly in his second year (which was last season) by landing a starting job as the weak side linebacker for the Vikings. In his first NFL regular season game, he racked up 10 tackles, and he finished his first complete season in the NFL with 105 tackles, two forced fumbles, two interceptions, and one touchdown.
