Greg Eslinger (born April 23, 1983) is a center for the Denver Broncos. He played college football for the Minnesota Golden Gophers and was a four-year starter. As a senior, he was awarded the Outland Trophy, which is given to college football's best interior lineman, as well as the Dave Rimington Trophy, awarded to college football's top center. A Bismarck, North Dakota native, Eslinger was also two-time Associated Press All-American (2003, 2005) and a three-time First Team All-Big Ten performer (2003, 2004, 2005). He was projected to be a 2nd-round or 3rd-round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, but was chosen in the 6th round with the 198th pick by the Broncos. Eslinger is currently on their injured reserve and will not play during the 2006 NFL Season.
On Jan. 11, 2007, the Denver Broncos announced that they have assigned Eslinger to NFL Europa, formerly known as the NFL Europe League.
