I found it interesting that shonn Greene was 25 years old after just 1 season and he only used 3 years of eligiblity at Iowa, does anyone know anything about his background and why he is a couple years older than the average 2nd year player.

1 year at junior college between soph and jun year to improve grades

He also didn't play football for some time and was working at a local store (can't remember if it was a grocery store or hardware store). Super humble guy who fell apart a bit and climbed back and is now, obviously, successful.

He had grade issues but it was not for a lack of trying. Some kids just are not great in the class room. He will not be an issue for his team in the NFL. As said before, he is a humble hard worker.

Yeah because he only played 3 years at iowa and the one year at junior collage plus the prep school would give him another year still
