INDIANAPOLIS -— Most of the players at the Combine have spent their entire lives dreaming of and preparing for this opportunity. They’ve devoted years — in some cases decades — to the chance to reach the NFL.
And then there are those like Ethan Greenidge.
Playing football at Riverhead High School was just something he did for fun. He was a big kid, his friends played, and so he did too. The NFL? That wasn’t even a flicker of a reality in his mind during his time growing up on Long Island.
But this past week, after four years of starting on the offensive line at Villanova, Greenidge was here in Indianapolis talking to teams like the Giants and the Jets and others about how they might be able to use his size and talents this upcoming season.
