Paulus Works out for the Pack

So after a promising start to his Duke career as a point guard, Greg Paulus was relegated to backup with very limited minutes his senior year. So what does he do? He goes and tries out for the G.B. Packers. Interesting move.

Though Paulus, from Syracuse, N.Y., opted for the Blue Devils as a basketball player, he is not without some serious football credentials. He was offered a football scholarship by Notre Dame as well as the University of Miami, and was a former Gatorade football player of the year at Christian Brothers Academy.

Paulus, 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, was a four-time all-state football player; a starter in the U.S. Army All-American game; and set six state passing records. Christian Brothers was 42-3 during his time there, and he had 11,763 career passing yards and 152 touchdown passes in 45 games.

Not sure what will come from all of this but it makes for an interesting little story.
