Sleeper File 7. Michael Greco, S, Central Florida, 6-3, 217, 4.40; very interesting

Do you zoners remember Drew Pearson, he was moved from QB to wr, and rest was history. How about Darren Woodson, he moved from linebacker at college to safety in pros and rest history. Darren Woodson ran a 4.45 too!

Thats it for today got to shut down, putting carpet in, carpet guy is coming today, so I will be out of pocket all today, and possibly in the morning till I get stuff put back, so keep me posted on cowboys news and the draft zoners.

The Sleeper File
PROSPECTS TO WATCH FOR THE 2010 DRAFT

7. Michael Greco, S, Central Florida, 6-3, 217, 4.40 … The NFL has had several former college QBs make the shift to another position and go on to stellar pro careers in the past. And the league could ultimately have yet another possibility in Central Florida safety Michael Greco. Indeed, Greco had never played much defense until last year, but made a nice transition to after playing QB almost his entire high school and college careers. Greco actually originally was recruited to play at North Caroline State and only ended up at UCF after transferring from the junior college ranks. Greco then started on and off for a couple of years for the Knights before making the move to defense full-time prior to the start of the 2009 season. Greco ended up starting 7 games at safety last fall and finished with 45 tackles and alos broke up 4 passes including two against nationally ranked Texas. While Greco still has a way to go to fully grasp the nuances of playing safety, its is exceptional physical attributes that could earn him a long look at the next level this coming summer. Greco is a solid 6-3, 217-pounder who reportedly ran under 4.40 seconds in the 40 at his pro day while posting a very athletic 41.5-inch vertical and 22 reps in the bench press. And while he’s new to the position, as a former QB, Greco does have a headstart in understanding what the offense is trying to do.

He is an exceptional athlete, smart guy and he loves the game. He was told last offseason that he would not be in the mix to be the starting QB, so he asked George O'Leary if he could switch to Safety. His inexperience at the position showed at times last season, but he could certainly be a candidate for special teams.
