Now 32, Greenway is learning the art of training efficiently as an older player

At 32, Chad Greenway is a young man in every walk of life except the path he’s on. In NFL years, the Vikings outside linebacker and  his knees are old. But they’re smarter this time of year, which Greenway believes will translate into the three of them staying productive throughout another season.

Earlier today, Greenway and several teammates were at Winter Park starting the second week of the team’s offseason conditioning program. For Greenway, it’s the early stages of working his way toward the NFL benchmark of 10 seasons. And it comes after Greenway gave himself extra time to recover from rib, wrist, hand and knee injuries that cost him four games a year ago.
