South Dakotan and linebacker of my beloved Iowa Hawkeyes Chad Greenway has been named a first-round draft choice of the Minnesota Vikings. Excerpt from the Argus Leader:
Chad Greenway proved once again that being small-town has nothing to do with being small-time.
The former Mount Vernon star athlete and Iowa linebacker did his loved ones a huge favor Saturday by becoming the first-round draft choice of the Minnesota Vikings, the only NFL team within a reasonable driving distance for this town of 470 people.
Greenway, the 17th overall pick, spent a low-key if somewhat maddening afternoon at the family farm watching ESPN while waiting for the biggest phone call of his life. After he got it, he did what a lot of folks do when they get some good news - he went to town.
