This is a guy who couldn't even beat out Staton Jobe for playing time. What a loser. (Not because he couldn't beat out Jobe, who was an exceptionally hard worker. But he just happens to be a loser who couldn't get PT over a walk-on.)

I'm a skins fan and I'm disappointed Darrell would raise his kid to act like that. Seems like a whinny little boy that never worked for anything. That's sad considering his dad was widely known as one of the hardest working players in the nfl.

Reading his quotes, he wanted to leave before given London a chance. If you don't believe in your coach, chances are, you are not going to work hard for him. If you don't work hard for him, you are not going to play because you can't help your team. If you can't help your team, then there is no real reason for you to be on the team. If you can't be on the team, you quit and complain how unfairly you were treated. I understand now why London didn't play Jared. I just hope Jared will one day understand it himself.

I thought this was going to a "Don't end up playing Platoon with Charlie Sheen" type direction. A little disappointed, but this has much more merit.

Is this article for real? Green was one of the softest players I've seen at Virginia, tip-toeing all over the field.

Probably a bad sign for your football career when your greatest football highlight is delivering your dad's hall of fame introduction.

Since UVa was his one and ONLY D-1 offer, if he was not Darrell Green's son, Jared would have been playing for Hampden-Syndey or Randolph-Macon. Kid sounds bitter and the eveidence of playing time is stacked against him. Bottom line, I could not care less what Jared Green thinks....good luck with that NFL career, enjoy it while it lasts, I suspect it will be painfully brief.

That was my initial thought but I thought if I went the more merit route, it would have more of a sting to it.

I just visited Tech's site and they are buying Green's story. One guy even said we lost a few games because London played inexperience 757 players. We won 8 games last year but we could have won a few more? Wow folks. If it wasn't for London, we could have won 11 or 12 games. That would have made us ACC champs. I guess he's just holding us back.

They would buy a story about a pig sprouting wings and flying if they thought it would reflect poorly on UVa and London.

I read this article and immediately thought, "what a low blow". He claims that London just wants to play kids from the tidewater area. Nowhere does he admit that maybe he wasn't a great D1 receiver. Uhm! Sour grapes me thinks.
http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/04/23/elfin-the-acorn-doesnt-fall-far-as-darrell-greens-son-preps-for-the-draft/

Absolutely classless and lacking in humility if he was quoted correctly and in context. He also admits he's been getting by on the status of his dad and favors from his pro friends all of his life. Sad ....

Ain't that the truth. Don't worry about those tools.

he doesn't sound like a grown man to me, grown ass men don't make petty excuses for their failures and shortcomings. who's fault is that?
