Welp, sorry for lying to you guys.. I told ya I’d see you after the New Year, but I’m back before my break ended, haha. Nah, I just thought I’d put this together for you guys.. and I had the time. I had already been compiling Kevin Greene clips for a little while in hopes of making a highlight of his in the next month or so, if I could.. but after I heard the news of his sudden passing last week, I knew I had to expedite it.. actually kinda sorry it wasn’t sooner, but as you probably can tell, this project was kinda bigger than normal.. it’s not easy trying to compact his whole great career into one video, but I feel good about this one.. I hope you enjoy it too. He was an amazing dude with a passion for the game like no other, and I couldn’t believe it when I heard. I’ll even share with you a little story of how I came to know of Kevin Greene, if you feel like reading, and feel free to share anything in the comments as well. Back in the day (I say that as if it were a long time ago, but I guess 15-20 years is getting to be a while ago, haha), I was as obsessed with football as I am today; wanting trading cards, books, memorabilia, media, anything and everything NFL I could get my hands on (Still am that way today, haha). One tradition I had was in grade school, ever so often, my dad and I would go to the local Salvation Army to see if we could score some good stuff inexpensively. They had a media section, and I would always scour the VHS tapes for NFL content.. luckily they were usually ripe for the picking a good amount of the times we went there. So, I have a bunch of NFL Films classic VHS tapes, from football follies to amazing cinematography capturing the different aspects of the game. And on some of these tapes, was this barbarian of a dude with long lushes golden locks, and he was rocking people.. an absolute rockstar, and I thought he was really cool (not fully knowing who he was just yet, nor that he was one of the best to ever play). I think what really first caught my eye was seeing him in a Steelers uniform, and thinking how crazy it was that they had a “Greene” on their team.. and it wasn’t Mean Joe, haha. Anyway, that was really my first introduction to the legend, Kevin Greene.. thank you for reading. I only hope he is resting easy, catching up with all the other legends that have gone before us. He will be missed, and he will be remembered! See you all next week with some great suggestions from you! Love you guys, appreciate you guys! Peace… out! ✌️🤟🏈!!
Without Greene as a linebacker coach on the packers we’d never got to the Super Bowl with his wisdom and teaching our linebackers a lil something he knows
I went to Auburn with Kevin and was in ROTC and rode motorcycles with him. We were pretty close for a short time. I want to thank you for putting out this video. Someone below complained about the lack of football highlights, but there are plenty of those videos out there. You did a good job of capturing the truth that Kevin was so much more than someone who played football for money. He would have played for free. I doubt anyone played professional football as long as he did and still loved playing as much as he did. At Auburn he would jump into any pick-up game going on down at the drill field. He believed in himself even though others said he would never play at the college level. After he finally made the team, they said he would never start. Once he started, they said he would never make pro. He just loved it so much he couldn't help but keep going. But he was also an Army officer and a true gentleman. He was a true patriot and had great respect for the USA and the military. His brother and father were also in the military. He was a devoted husband and father and had more energy than seemed possible. He was an all-around great human being who deserves to be remembered for more than just great football clips. Thank you for sharing this.
Likewise! Thank you for sharing these words, I'm honored to read them. That's awesome that you got know the person behind the player persona, because that's what's most important. Always enjoy hearing the positive effects that players have off the field. But yea, I like to showcase a players whole story where and when I can.. so I'm glad you enjoyed that and appreciated it too. Thanks for stopping by!
Kevin Greene was the reason I wanted to be a Middle "Hunter Killer" Linebacker as a kid in the 80s. Taking that raptor's position behind the D-line. Reading the faces and body language. Calculating most likely travel routes of his prey. Then, with the snap of the ball. showing up at the QB's front door like an unexpected tax collector. It was glorious in my teenage mind. Much respect and R.I.P. warrior.
My Fav player since his days with the Rams. Me and my Pops met him after the game against the Packers (Tony Mandarich first pro game ) where Greene destroyed him. He came out after the game drinking a Tall Can .Lol..So damn cool to talk to us 4 a little.RIP in Brother 🙏🍻
Bro, in the Anaheim parking lot can’t tell you how many players would come out and have a beer. So many. We were 4-12 but who got to have a beer with a player after? Lol - I’m sure that will never happen again these days. And Kevin by FAR was my favorite Defensive player of my youth. Remember the two sacks on Joe Montana MNF
@@-RAMS-FAN Hell yeah !!! The team sucked ,but those were the good times ..We got a shit load of autographs too..Man miss those days ..Yeah I do remember the 2 sacks by K.G..What a player and cool ass dude ..
160 QB sacks in his 14 seasons with the Los Angeles Rams San Francisco 49ers Carolina Panthers and Pittsburgh Steelers 1984 SEC DPOY at Auburn University 5th round draft pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 1985 Led the NFL in Sacks in 1994 with the Steelers Led the NFL in sacks in 1996 with the Panthers
Saw Kevin play many times in person in Carolina. He was RELENTLESS and had a motor with one speed.. GO!!! He wasn’t the biggest and definitely wasn’t the fastest but he could get off a block like nobody’s business. Very hard to block or ‘out motor’ him 💯
Oh yea, they were great together! For Sure. Hey, if you enjoyed this one, and feel like it, I also made a Greg Lloyd highlight: ruclips.net/video/p1XI8NUxvKI/видео.html Hope you enjoy it, if you decide to check it out. Thanks, bud!

Awesome video. The most impressive thing I ever seen him do was bull rush clean through Larry Allen. I was like Holy Shit!!
R.I.P Kevin Greene. A touching, somewhat emotional video.

Best compilation of Greene highlights I've seen. Wonderful job. The man truly had a zest for life. He will be missed. Rest in glory, wild man.
Thank you very much, Tony! I'm glad you enjoyed this video that much. Amen!

Without Greene as a linebacker coach on the packers we’d never got to the Super Bowl with his wisdom and teaching our linebackers a lil something he knows

Always played with his hair on fire every down. R.I.P. Heavenly BD.
Kevin Greene is a player I want on my team every time, embodies the love of football and entertainment and life.

He and Lloyd were as good a pair of OLB as anyone ever had and should have been allowed to retire in black and gold!!!

When I met Kevin Greene in Hawaii he was an assh*le proving he was a badass!!
Maybe because I mistaked him from Hulk Hogan lmao!!
I feel like listening to Metallica now, lol
Almost 9 minute video with 120 seconds of actual highlights
Dog roid 1!!
