Kyle Shanahan speaks on Dre Greenlaw’s penalties

Dre Greenlaw is building a reputation in the NFL as one of the best off-ball linebackers in the game. As a player who flies to the football and plays fast and violently, Greenlaw has everything you want in a linebacker. The question is: Is he building a reputation as a dirty player?

For the record, I don’t believe Greenlaw to be “dirty.” The fact of the matter is it seems nearly every game this season has seen Greenlaw flagged for unnecessary roughness or a late hit. Greenlaw has been flagged six times for unnecessary roughness six times since 2022.
