Greg Joseph (26) made his NFL debut with the Cleveland Browns. Currently, he is placekicker on the practice squad for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Joseph has also played for the Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers, and Tennessee Titans. As a youngster, he played football and soccer at Donna Klein Jewish Academy in Boca Raton, Florida. Joseph, who was born in South Africa, says Judaism has “absolutely” guided him during his life.
Quote: “Rabbi Yossi Friedman of the Chabad of Downtown Cleveland, who helped Joseph and his parents, Glen and Ilana, put the mezuzah up on his door, said Joseph recited the traditional blessing during the process. Joseph was introduced to Friedman by Rabbi Yossi Denburg of Chabad of Boca Raton, Florida, near where Joseph grew up.”
