Though I don't like seeing former Redskins have good things happen to them, like Norv Turner, I don't mind so much that Gregg has found success with another team.
Gregg seemed like a sincere individual and from the coverage of the Taylor tragedy, he seemed really affected by that loss outside of the football field. Congratulations again to him for contributing to a Super Bowl victory and overcoming his adversity.
Fun Fact:
Here are three more former Skins that will be able to put on Super Bowl rings:
Mark Brunell, finally gets what he wanted and he'll probably retire after winning one.
Chase Daniel, Rookie QB, gets the most coveted ring in his first career outing...must be nice
Pierson Prioleau, one of Gregg's disciple's, he followed him from Buffalo, Washington, Jacksonville and then New Orleans and it finally paid off.
