Eighth-grader Beckett Greenway receives first Division I basketball offer
Beckett Greenway, daughter of former Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway and sister of top-ranked 2025 Minnesota recruit Maddyn Greenway, received her first Division I scholarship offer from South Dakota State, she said Monday on social media. And Beckett is still only in the eighth grade. Beckett played alongside her sister and helped Providence Academy claim a Class 2A state title this spring. Beckett averaged 12.2 points, 3.3 boards and 3.2 assists per game for the Lions last season, according to stats provided by the MN Girls Basketball Hub. As Beckett will only be in ninth grade next year, the offer from the Jackrabbits is sure to be the first of many. Beckett is a multi-sport athlete, also playing soccer for the Lions. She previously won a soccer championship with Providence Academy, too. Athleticism is in the genes at the Greenway household. Chad was a stellar linebacker, playing 10 NFL seasons with the Vikings, and Maddyn is the top-ranked girls basketball recruit in Minnesota's 2025 class and is committed to play at Kentucky this fall. Beckett looks to be the next top-level recruit in town, and you'll likely hear more of her soon.

Vikings steal Packers legend away from division rival in 2006 re-draft by PFF
Vikings steal Packers legend away from division rival in 2006 re-draft by PFF Pro Football Focus is the home to so many good ideas and plenty of data that allows new ideas to populate football fans' heads. Their advanced data has allowed the game of football to take a critical step, and now they are taking that data and applying it to a new exercise: re-drafting. They want to re-draft some classic NFL drafts with the data they now have at their disposal, and the first up is the 2006 class. The Vikings originally selected Chad Greenway 17th overall that year, and he was a fan favorite for years. In this re-draft, though, Minnesota takes a different route and takes away from their division rival the Green Bay Packers by getting Greg Jennings. PFF writes up the steal of Jennings, saying, "As Minnesota was trying to transition at quarterback from veteran Brad Johnson to the youngster Tarvaris Jackson, they needed another weapon in the passing game. They select former Green Bay Packer Greg Jennings here before he can torture them for the next seven years. At the peak of his powers, Jennings turned in three seasons with more than 1,100 receiving yards and eight consecutive seasons with at least a 71.0 PFF receiving grade." Chad Greenway does not end up going in round one of this hypothetical re-draft, so for the sake of Vikings fans, we can pretend he ended up in Minnesota anyway. It is fun to see, though, that the Vikings take away from Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.
