San Francisco 49ers rookie linebacker Dre Greenlaw is receiving praise after a grateful father took to Twitter on Saturday to thank Greenlaw for protecting his daughter at a fraternity party in 2015.
Moments after the 49ers selected Greenlaw in the fifth round of this year's NFL draft, Gerry Dales posted a series of tweets revealing that his daughter Meghan had been at the same party as Greenlaw when the two were freshmen at the University of Arkansas. Dales said the pair knew each other from their time together at Fayetteville High in Arkansas.
A male student was "all over" Dales's daughter at the party, and when the man attempted to get her to leave with him after "slipping something into her drink when she wasn't paying attention," Greenlaw stepped in.
