GREEN BAY, Wis. -- For Kevin Greene, picking a presenter for his Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement was an easy call. Almost as easy as he made it look chasing after quarterbacks in his mentor's defensive scheme.

Greene announced this week that he has chosen Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, who coached him in Pittsburgh and Carolina -- and also got him into coaching.

"No question he's had a remarkable impact in my life and in my family's life," Greene said in a video distributed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "He's helped me provide for me and my family -- [wife] Tara and [children] Gavin and Gabby -- so much through the years. He just had such a remarkable impact on my life. No question it's got to be Dom Capers."

The induction ceremony is Aug. 6, and while Capers was going to be in town anyway -- the Packers have been selected to play in the annual preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts the following day -- he'll likely have to miss a day of practice or two to head to Canton, Ohio, in advance of the ceremony. When former Packers general manager Ron Wolf was inducted last year, his presenter, his son Eliot, left Packers training camp for a couple of days for the various pre-induction festivities. Eliot Wolf serves as the Packers' director of player personnel.

Greene, who spent five seasons as the Packers' outside linebackers coach under Capers, played four of his 15 NFL seasons for Capers -- two with Pittsburgh (1993-94), when Capers was the Steelers' defensive coordinator, and two with Carolina (1996, '98) when Capers was the Panthers' head coach.

Of Greene's 160 career sacks -- third all time behind Bruce Smith and Reggie White -- 56 came when he was playing for Capers.

The Packers, of course, have another connection to the Hall of Fame weekend this year. Iconic quarterback Brett Favre will also be enshrined. Favre, who played 16 years for the Packers, has yet to say publicly who will present him, although Ron Wolf, who acquired him from the Atlanta Falcons in 1992, would be the logical choice.
