Arliss Beach is a running back on the Green Bay Packers. He attended school throughout the Ashland, Ky. school system until his graduation. While attending Paul G. Blazer High School, he set several school records in football, and was the only athlete in Kentucky to be elected All-State in both football and basketball during the years in which he played.
After the end of his senior year in high school, the University of Kentucky offered him a full scholarship to play football. While enrolled, the football program went through major staff and coahing changes, and it has been said that this is the reason Beach was never handled correctly. Regardless of his abscence in the NFL Draft, Beach signed with the Packers as a free agent, and was immediately placed on the active roster after impressing the coaching staff. He suffered a serious ankle injury during the preseason, however, and thus he was placed on Injured Reserve for the 2006-2007 season. He is expected to be an active member of the roster for the Packer's 2007-2008 season.
