He was a good High School player I guess. GREAT HS player. I didn't know that until I watched PTI this afternoon. Guess he was Player of the year and broke a passing record for yards for a career.

It'd be nice to have a fast emergency QB if something happens to Rodgers.

But I'd bet money we never get him but there's nothing much else to talk about, except Soi.

Ruvell Martin played QB in high school. (I've been waiting for an excuse to post that again.)

I must admit I am curious why such an outstanding high school QB chose to play college basketball instead of football.

I have said before I would love to see the Wildcat, or some permutation thereof, brought to Green Bay.

Hes been out of football for 4 years. I think we can find a better emergency QB. Not to mention we have 2 other guys at the position.

U. Michigan is looking at him for a year as QB too, as he has one year of eligibility on the football field after 4 years of basketball at Duke (strange, that).

A lot of media folks are scratching their heads about this one. I still don't know what to make of it.

Would be cool if he played DI basketball and football. Wonder why GB worked him out?

This is an interesting opinion from the comments section:

Why did the Packers work out Paulus?

Heres my theory

Thompson is a sneaky SOB so heres what I think. I read that Paulus was throwing to Duke WR Eron Riley, hes a big time sleeper at WR in this years Draft. 6-3 204 lbs, pretty productive with no QB worth mentioning, ran a 4.34 40 and had a 40 inch vertical at Dukes Pro Day. We let the word out so people think we were actually working out Paulus, when in reality we were scouting the WR Riley. Im on to Thompson and its only a matter of time before I get into the Packers Front Office. Eron Riley will be a Packer, watch. He may have fooled the rest of the world but im on to his sneaky ways.

:icon_smile:

It makes much more sense than actually signing Paulus. It would be a classic late athletic Ted Thompson pick that nobody has really heard of.

You know what would be funny about that scenario? Apparently sports talk radio was filled with snide comments about Ted Thompson "trying to be smarter than everyone else". How hilarious would it be if he picked up this WR late in the draft and the guy ends up being a player? Ted Thompson really WOULD be leaps and bounds smarter than the morons deriding him for the wrong thing.
