Although it looks like a martial arts move with a wind-up and high kick, Greenard explains it's more a presence-making greeting than anything, citing his days with his fraternity brothers.
"It's our high kick. It's basically part of our hop. It's like a routine we do. People call it stepping. We don't step. We hop," Greenard said.
Form and presentation matter, and Greenard loves the reaction he gets from his frat brothers around the country.

"It's kind of like a competition, if you ask any of my fraternity brothers. Who can have the highest kick? And who can keep his leg the straightest?" the fourth-year defensive end from Florida explained.
He's had plenty of opportunities to show off his form with 2.5 sacks to key a dominant defensive performance Sunday against Tennessee.
Greenard now ranks in a tie for eighth in the NFL in sacks, just a half-sack behind Cleveland's Myles Garrett. Those two will face off Sunday at NRG Stadium. It's a great competition, but the man with the highest kick is no contest.
