EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – Chad Greenway’s eyes watered when he described his parents’ impact during his retirement press conference on Tuesday.
Teammates know of Greenway’s sincerity and emotion, but they also have enjoyed Greenway’s lighter side in the Vikings locker room.
Perhaps fittingly, Greenway capped off his media rounds Tuesday with plenty of laughs during an interview with Vikings analyst and former teammate Ben Leber.
“Loosen up, man,” Leber jabbed at Greenway, who wore a tailored suit and tie beneath a slicked-back ’do.
The two former linebackers shared a laugh as they compared hairstyles – or lack thereof in Leber’s case, as Greenway pointed out.
