The morning after Chad Greenway was announced as the **‘Crew 52’ Captain*** *for Super Bowl LII, he made the rounds on Radio Row in Houston.

Just two days before the Falcons and Patriots complete the 2016 season in the title game, Greenway was a guest on several radio programs to talk about the upcoming game, his role as a recruiter and motivator of 10,000 volunteers for next year's game in Minnesota and his pending football future.

Greenway stepped into several booths broadcasting from Houston and also phoned into the ***9 to Noon*** show on KFAN 100.3-FM, hosted by "Voice of the Vikings" Paul Allen and Paul Charchian.

A season-long captain of the Vikings the past two seasons, Greenway will help recruit 10,000 volunteers for the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee. In addition to the game that will be held at sparkling U.S. Bank Stadium on Feb. 4, 2018, there will be a bevy of festivities several days before the game.

"I think it's an unbelievable opportunity to represent and recruit and excite all of our 10,000 volunteers that we are going to get and need for Super Bowl LII," Greenway told Allen and Charchian. "We're going to need 10,000 Minnesotans, South Dakotans, North Dakotans, western Wisconsinites, Iowans, everybody, Canadians, we need to come down and have a bunch of volunteers to run this thing."

Greenway traveled to Houston and attended the "Bold North Down South" party on Thursday and was scheduled to return to Minnesota on Friday. He said the first-hand visuals of the event were insightful.

"I'm down here in Houston identifying the scope of this thing because it's unreal," Greenway said. "I'm sitting on Radio Row right now, and the size of it is unbelievable."

The conversation later turned to Greenway's future with the Vikings.

The linebacker completed his 11th season in Minnesota on Jan. 1, and is pondering a 12th season. He ranks fourth all-time in franchise history in tackles (1,334) and fourth in starts by a Vikings linebacker (144).

"It's your job to press me. That's OK," Greenway said. "Here's where I'm at and in complete honesty, it's been nice to get away from the season for a month here. Obviously I wish we were playing. Being down here makes it frustrating to not be playing in this football game."

Greenway said "there's two people" he needs to talk to before making a final decision and he expects to do that "in the next few weeks."

"I will say, as I've said before, if I do play, it's going to be in Minnesota and nowhere else," Greenway said. "If I'm not playing, I'm not playing. I've had a great 11 years. I've been fortunate to do it in one place. I've been proud to do that, and now it's time to make a decision and move forward. If we're going to move forward with a contract, if we're going to move forward with retirement, that's just something that we're going to decide and decide when the timing is right.

"Right now, the timing is just not quite right yet," Greenway continued. "I need to have a couple of conversations that will make me kind of realize what I want to do. The biggest thing, guys, honestly is the best part about spending my whole career and having this continuity with the front office and being able to have a relationship with [General Manager] Rick [Spielman] is to be able to have this time to make this decision.

"A lot of guys that play in this league don't get this chance," Greenway added. "I'm pretty grateful for that and excited obviously, if I do retire to move on and see what's next, and if I do play, then to obviously try to get to the Super Bowl in Minneapolis. There's a lot of cool things in front of me."

Greenway said he plans to stick to his final decision once it's made, and he expects to make a decision "before free agency starts."
