In his own words: Jets Coach Rex Ryan on ex-Hawkeye Shonn Greene

Former Iowa standout Shonn Greene could become the first running back in NFL history to notch three consecutive 100-yard rushing games in his first three playoff games if he goes over 100 against Indianapolis on Sunday.

Here's what Jets Coach Rex Ryan said Wednesday about drafting Greene in the third round:

"Our scouts did a great job. (General Manager) Mike Tanenbaum and (Vice President, College Scouting) Joey (Clinkscales) and (Assistant Director, Player Personnel) JoJo (Wooden), all those guys up there, (Senior Personnel Executive) Terry (Bradway), all those guys really had a back that they couldn't wait for me to see. They (said), 'You're going to love this guy.' When I watched the tape, absolutely. I saw a guy that was just a big powerful back, a Big Ten back that just ran hard, great vision, great feet, all those kind of things that you look for. The coach that really stood on the table for him was our running backs coach Anthony Lynn. He was the number one back on his board for the style of play of our offense.
