Greg Koch

Koch was a four-year letterman at the University of Arkansas. He was a starter for the Arkansas Razorbacks where he was part of the offensive line that blocked for the school record 3,523 rushing yards in 1975. That same season Koch was named First-Team All-SWC. Koch played in the All-America Bowl in Tampa, Florida after the 1976 season. Koch was named to the Razorback 1970s All-Decade team with offensive linemen R. C. Thielemann, Leotis Harris, George Stewart, and Greg Kolenda.^{[citation needed]} Koch helped Arkansas win a share of the 1975 SWC championship, and then defeat Georgia in the 1976 Cotton Bowl Classic. He is considered one of the best offensive linemen to ever play for the Razorbacks.

A second-round draft choice in 1977 from the University of Arkansas, Koch played nine seasons (1977–85) in Green Bay, appearing in 133 games. A fixture at right tackle almost immediately upon his arrival, he was a Second-team All-Pro selection following the 1982 season and was part of one of the greatest offenses in club history when the Packers amassed 6,172 yards in 1983, the second-best output ever in club annals. He was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 2010.^[3]

Koch played his final two seasons with Miami in 1986 and the first game of 1987 at his customary right tackle spot. After the strike in 1987, his former Packer offensive coordinator Bob Schnelker traded two draft choices for him in Minnesota.

He played right guard for the Vikings in 1987 where they made it to the NFC Championship game, eventually losing to the Washington Redskins. Despite being wanted back by the Vikings in 1988, he then went to law school and became a practicing attorney and part-time radio host in Houston, Texas.
