Greg Blue Started His Football Career wearing the Trojan Red & Silver!

 

Greg Blue was and is still known at Banneker and in the High school racks in Georgia as the all time hardest hitter ever to perform on the field.  We want Greg Blue to know that we are very proud of him and still remember what he brought to Banneker while he was here.

 

Greg went on to play for the University Of Georgia and there became known as one of the all time greatest and hardest hitters in College Football.  Greg received numerous honors, awards, and set school records during his career at Georgia.  See more about Mr. Blues Georgia career at this link:  >> Click Here

 

Mr. Blue begins his second year in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings.  Greg did a great job with the playing time he received his rookie year.  Greg (a safety) in one of a mighty veteran safety squad at Minnesota.  But we at Banneker know Greg and know he is up to the task.  Already in the first preseason game Greg has gotten some good playing time and made several tackles.  THE BANNEKER FAMILY WANTS MR. BLUE TO KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL BEHIND HIM AND WISH HIM ALL THE VERY BEST THIS HIS SECOND SEASON!  Falcons,  If the opportunity ever arrives we want Blue. 

 

Here are some things that reporters and coaches are already saying about Greg Blue in the NFL.

A few notes from today’s Vikes/Chiefs scrimmage: Aug 3 2007

*In case you forgot, Greg Blue can HIT. Herm Edwards and Chilly tried to limit the contact in the scrimmage, but that didn’t stop Blue from popping a Chiefs player by the sideline.

Yea, that Blue hit was nice.

Second-year man Greg Blue has four veterans with more experience ahead of him, but he relishes the competition.

MANKATO - Greg Blue knew the training-camp competition for the Vikings' safety jobs would be spirited when he learned last April that the team had decided to up the ante.

A position group that included veterans Darren Sharper, Dwight Smith and Tank Williams added another when Mike Doss signed a one-year, $1 million contract. Blue's reaction?

"That's the NFL right there," he said. "There is always competition. I wasn't mad about it. I just said, 'It's going to be crazy during training camp.' "

Greg Blue is a big time hitter. Hopefully he's learning the defense and will get some playing time next year.

GO RED SILVER & GREG BLUE
