Stylez

I'm sure that most were aware that the cinematic classic "Teen Wolf" celebrated it's 26th anniversary this past Tuesday. It was an amazing coincidence that the Minnesota Vikings announced the signing of Stylez G. White that very same day. It's a homecoming for Stylez as he played his college ball for the University of Minnesota. Only then, he was more simply known as Greg White. As are so many, Greg White is a big fan of "Teen Wolf". So much so, that a few years ago Greg White legally changed his name to Stylez G. White after a character in the movie. It's simply astonishing that the signing of Stylez took place on the anniversary of the movie marvel.

On the football side, the signing of White is more than a little curious. Defensive end is not really a need. The defensive line, as a whole, may even be the strongest unit on the team. Defensive ends Jared Allen and Brian Robison are entrencehed as starters. Everson Griffen can play both sides and will play often. Rookie D'Aundre Reed and especially Adrian Awasom have looked very good. Reed was injured recently. Perhaps the injury is more significant than it appearred. He has shown enough raw talent that the team might want to protect him for the year through injured reserve. If healthy, Reed has shown enough that he might be picked up by another team before he can be placed on the practice squad. The Vikings could be looking to go with five ends and White teams with Awasom to round out a very solid group. White had some productive years with Tampa Bay. It doesn't really strike me as a signing to simply add a healthy body to make it through camp. His addition actually makes the defensive line rotation a real strength.

Or, maybe signing Stylez G. White was the Minnesota Vikings way of showing their appreciation of the artistry of "Teen Wolf".
