Greg Warren: From N.C. to Super Bowl (with thanks to dad)

Posted Feb 4, 2011
Greg Warren, Pittsburgh's long snapper, will be a part of his third Super Bowl on Sunday, when the Steelers face Green Bay. And the man who taught him his craft (his father) will be among the 100,000-plus fans expected at Cowboys Stadium for the 6:30 p.m. kickoff. "I don't think either one of us ever thought it'd go anywhere past high school," Greg Warren said this week. "I think we've both been very surprised at how (far) it's taken me." (Charlotte Observer)
