Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Of course, he was benched his senior season in favor of a freshman, which probably doesn’t bode well for his NFL quarterbacking hopes. Nevertheless, he worked out for the Packers yesterday. Paulus immediately drew three roughing the passer calls before running into the endzone, slapping the grass twice and then having this happen to him:
Yep, they brought in Tony Gonzalez just to dunk on Paulus. You know, on second thought, maybe his college basketball talents will translate perfectly to the gridiron.

Greg Paulus = Mottram’s official whipping boy

One of the little things you might not notice about Duke basketball, but which is a telling detail, is that you’ll rarely hear anyone call more than one syllable. So it’s Shav, Shel, Chris, and so on. It’s a smart principle, and a sign of the level of organization the program thrives on: yelling Shelden is less effective and takes longer than yelling Shel. We’re not saying Shel is what they call for Shelden, but you get the point. That’s an important thing at Duke.

Dude I freaking love Greg Paulus.Let’s see an article ripping Michael Vick for once. Or Al Davis for considering him?You stay classy TSN.Good luck to the Paulus in the NFL if someone takes a flyer on him; the kid takes control of a huddle and keeps his cool after each and every play on the court.Todd Boeckman took a seat to that one Freshman QB Terrelle Pryor. That work out ok? Yup.At a position that requires a ton of ego in the first place……it is remarkable when these young men swallow their pride and as seniors, to step aside for freshmen.T-E-A-MSo go ahead and praise camera hogs with a me-first mentality.Snap your photos and leave your articles drenched in drool.But give me 12 team players on a court or 22 of them on turf and at the end of the day I’ll be proud.-Justin
