Yes, that would be the Green Bay Packers of the NFL. Looks like the Assistant Floor Slapping Coach position will have to wait for Duke's Greg Paulus. A league source confirmed the Packers worked out Paulus last week looking to fill a need at the backup QB position.
Paulus was a former All-American High School QB who turned down scholarships to Notre Dame and the U, choosing instead to study jumpball under the tutelage of Coach K. The decision paid dividends early as Paulus was a 3 year starter before a demotion his senior year.
This would be quite a turn of events for Greg, following Duke's loss in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament, it was widely believed that would be the last anyone would see of him - at least as a competitor. He certainly possesses all the requirements to fill a seat down the bench from Coach K, a natural fit once Wojo moves on.
The kid was an absolute stud in high school so this really isn't that strange of a move and it would not be suprising to see some other teams kick the tires as well. In addition to being the Gatorade Player of the Year his senior season, he set six passing records in the state of New York and started the US Army All-American Game.
