Greg Biekert (born March 14, 1969) is a former National Football League linebacker. Biekert attended Longmont High School (Longmont, Colorado) and was a letterman in football. He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the seventh round of the 1993 draft and played in 144 games with 123 starts. He led the Raiders in tackles for six season, including four straight years (1998-2001), and is arguably best known for recovering the Tom Brady fumble that was ruled an incomplete pass because of the Tuck rule in the 2001 AFC divisional playoff game against the New England Patriots.
After two full seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, Biekert retired after the 2003 season.
