I give the kid credit, it wasn't more than a couple hours from when it was announced he signed with the Packers that he changed the colors on his site from the Giant's red and blue to the green and gold of the Pack. Sounds like he appreciates the history of the Pack as well as he's getting work in the dime package on his first day here.

I actually have Charlie Peprah on my facebook and he seems like he's a really hard worker and thankful for everything he's been given along the way. Hopefully he'll stick with us for a while.

This guy was a 4-year starter at Alabama. I don't know what caused him to be cut by the Giants, but he is an intriguing pickup. He might be able to provide some of the physical presence we lost when Underwood got hurt.I can't run no more

His first blog as a Packer:
First day in Green Bay...
Written by Charlie Peprah
As I was sitting in the locker room Monday morning it finally hit me, I am now a Green Bay Packer. Seeing that green jersey with my name on it and that big G on a yellow helmet was awesome. For the first time in 24 hours, my life had slowed down enough for me to soak in what was happening.
When I got the news that I was a Green Bay Packer on Sunday afternoon I spent most of the day at LaGuardia trying to get a flight out of New York. Finally around 8:40 p.m. I made the flight to Milwaukee. A one hour drive from Milwaukee and I found myself in my new hometown of Green Bay at 12:40 a.m. Monday morning. After a short night’s rest I was on the trolley at 6:10 a.m. heading for practice.
My first day as a Packer was a fly by. Lots of things were thrown at me so that I have a general idea of what we’re doing defensively. I did work in some dime situations and was put in with the starters at different points of practice. It was inspiring to look to one side and see Al Harris and look to the other side and see Charles Woodson. I did get a lot of work on special teams and I think I showed I can make an immediate impact their. Although Monday was pretty hectic, I don’t seem as pressured in Green Bay as I was in New York.
A few more things I observed on Monday…The speculation about Brett Favre not being able to play at this level anymore is absurd. My opinion, for what it’s worth, is that this guy is playing and moving around like he’s got five more seasons to go. He’s still got it. I also realized how much of an impact former University of Alabama players have made on the Green Bay organization. You can’t help but notice when you walk into the facilities that Don Hutson and Bart Starr are some of the most beloved Green Bay Packers of all time. While no one could probably match their significance to Green Bay I hope I can at least build on the traditions they helped establish. After one day in Green Bay it seems it has a lot in common with Tuscaloosa. Both love their football and both are steep in traditions.
The team is off on Tuesday but I’ll go into the classroom and work on learning the system before Sunday’s game against Chicago.
One other note…I got my old #26 back.
I’ll check back later in the week,

Based on his blog, you can't help but pull for the kid. I really like what he had to day. My favorite part of the article was:
"A one hour drive from Milwaukee and I found myself in my new hometown of Green Bay at 12:40 a.m"
A ONE HOUR DRIVE! Slow down kid!!!!! The cops don't know who you are yet.

LOL. Well if he was driving at almost midnight, maybe there wasn't that many people on the road.Originally posted by gbpackfan"A one hour drive from Milwaukee and I found myself in my new hometown of Green Bay at 12:40 a.m"

i hope he plays as fast as he drives. He does seem real cool and a solid football player. The Giants must be idiots.Comment

Maybe the NYG had enough quality players at S/CB and let him go? From what I'm reading, NYG is expected to have a pretty good D and make a strong push for the NFCE division title. I know Sam Madison is one of the corners, and Gibril Wilson is a big hitter at S. Coughlin may have preferred to go with vets instead. Anybody know what NY sportwriters thought?
Anyway, he didn't make the final cut, and now he's in GB. Here's hoping he pans out for GB.
Great thread, BTW -- thanks for posting the link/blog entry.Comment
