George Theo Teague (born February 18, 1971) is a former American football safety in the National Football League (NFL) who played for the Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins. He played college football at the University of Alabama. Early years An Air Force brat, Teague grew up at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas attending Derby High School in Derby, Kansas and Sembach Air Base, before moving to Alabama and attending Jefferson Davis High School. As a senior cornerback, he was named first-team class 6A All-state and Academic All-state. He also practiced track. He accepted a football scholarship from the University of Alabama.
