Following reports that Duke point guard Greg Paulus had a private workout with the Green Bay Packers, Blue Devils football coach David Cutcliffe has extended an offer for Paulus to try out for his team -- as a wide receiver.Paulus, who was offered a football scholarship by Notre Dame and Miami was named Gatorade player of the year, at quarterback but Cutcliffe says Paulus could try out for a spot as an inside receiver as the Blue Devils wind down spring practice. Said Cutcliffe: "We talked but there is no way he'd be able to compete to play for us at the quarterback position. It's just so difficult without playing quarterback for such a long time."
So Paulus can get a tryout to be an NFL quarterback but he can't hack it in the ACC after having not played football in four years?
But the Duke situation is moot since Paulus has declined the offer. Plus Cutcliffe should know that Paulus has already exhausted his eligibility as a basketball player and would have to go to another school to play right away, despite it being a different sport. It's been reported that Paulus has visited Michigan about the possibility of playing quarterback for Rich Rodriguez. Considering that Tate Forcier is already in place it wouldn't make much sense for either the Wolverines or Paulus. But if he's serious about trading in his high tops for cleats, venturing over to East Lansing, where Michigan State is looking for a replacement for Brian Hoyer would make much more sense. It's just too bad North Carolina is set at quarterback, having T.J. Yates and Greg's brother Mike. But going from Durham to Chapel Hill? Now that would have been something.
