The New Orleans Saints have inducted another massive piece of their franchise's history into the team's Hall of Fame. Jabari Greer is now a Saints Hall of Famer. New Orleans will recognize him, along with other inductees, during this season.
Greer, 5'10, 180, played five seasons with the Saints from 2009-2013 after first being signed by the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Tennessee in 2004. A hard worker who entered the NFL through humble beginnings, the Jackson, Tenn. native turned himself into an elite cornerback, playing in 133 games with 86 starts during his decade-long career and amassing 430 career tackles (341 solo), 13 interception returns for 240 yards, four brought back for touchdowns, two sacks, 101 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Signed by New Orleans as an unrestricted free agent in 2009, the Saints reached the playoffs in four of Greer's five seasons, including the Super Bowl XLIV Championship campaign, as he played in 63 games with 60 starts and posted 290 stops (227 solo), nine interceptions, 68 passes defensed, one forced fumble and one recovery. — New Orleans Saints website
Greer created a foundation during his career in New Orleans. Its mission was to emphasize fatherhood and uniting families. Greer has been a proponent of the community for years. On the field, Greer was a dominant defensive back and won a Super Bowl with the Saints.
