Before Chad Greenway made a name for himself in the NFL, he was a high school football player from a small town in South Dakota with little visibility in the college recruiting sphere. Now, after 11 years with the Minnesota Vikings, the two-time Pro Bowler is hoping to change the process.
Greenway recently spoke to FOX Business about partnering with Signing Day Sports, a recruitment platform aimed at making the process easier for athletes to get discovered and recruited by coaches using a unique digital ecosystem.

"I put myself back in my 17- and 18-year-old shoes. A small town South Dakota kid, it was just impossible to get recruited. I grew up in a town of about 400 people. I graduated with 26 kids in my class … and I played nine-man football so for Division 1 or for any college to come recruit me was an uphill battle. It’s a different type of battle but it’s still an uphill battle to get people to drive out to see me. It was 2001 so the recruiting technology and the video systems weren’t there. They weren’t a part of our ecosystems yet," Greenway explained.
