Duke crybaby to play Football

http://www.freep.com/article/20090415/SPORTS06/90414127/Report++Ex-Duke+point+guard+might+play+U-M+football

Add another name - and a surprising one at that - into the Michigan football QB discussion.

Former Duke point guard Greg Paulus was on hand at Michigan's practice Tuesday afternoon and spoke with U-M coach Rich Rodriguez about the possibility of playing this season, according to FOXSports.com's Jeff Goodman.

Paulus has exhausted his basketball eligibility but could play one season of college football. He hasn't played competitively since high school, when he was named Gatorade National Player of the Year at Christian Brothers Academy in New York. Paulus was originally courted by a number of top-tier college football programs before opting to play basketball at Duke. He started his first three seasons there before coming off the bench last season as a senior.

Paulus worked out last Thursday for the Green Bay Packers.

Freshmen Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson are expected to compete with Nick Sheridan for the starting QB competition this fall. Inkster QB Devin Gardner has orally committed to the Wolverines as a part of their 2010 recruiting class.
