Not in Hall of Fame News

We will be unveiling in the near future a look at each North American sports franchise and they handle retired numbers, franchise Halls of Fame etc.  Admittedly, this will not include that of the Canadian Football League, but this was a retired number we could not ignore commenting on.

Greer was an undrafted Cornerback from the University of Tennessee in 2004 who latched on with the Buffalo Bills, eventually securing a starting role with the team.  As his skills improved, Greer would sign with the New Orleans Saints and would not just be a starting Cornerback, but become a big part of the Saints defense.  As such, Greer would become a part of the Saints team that won Super Bowl XLIV, and would overall…
