Duke Blue Devils point guard Greg Paulus who chose basketball over football out of high school is rumored to be working out for the Green Bay Packers.
It's not clear what position Paulus is working out for but it would appear to be quarterback. Paulus was a former Gatorade Player of the Year at Brothers Christian Academy. While at BCA Paulus was 42-3 as a starter, threw for 11,763 yards, and 152 touchdowns. He was a four time all state player and starter in the US Army game.
The 6-1 180 pound Paulus is the only one of his 5 siblings to choose basketball over football. His brother Ron was a quarterback at Notre Dame and his brother Mike is now a quarterback at North Carolina. Paulus said he has no regret going with basketball however.
"I wanted to play point guard, and I got a chance to do that and to play for Duke and Coach [Krzyzewski]," Paulus told USA Today. "I wouldn't change a thing."
Paulus does lack ideal size for a quarterback but Green Bay doesn't have a sure thing at quarterback in Aaron Rodgers either. It wouldn't surprise me if the Packers brought in a quarterback. I just see Paulus being a defensive back instead.
There should be more news on this as the draft gets closer.
