Ryan Grant (born December 9, 1982 in Suffern, New York) is an American football running back for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. He was originally signed by the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent in 2005 but was traded to the Packers shortly before the 2007 season in exchange for a future sixth-round draft pick. He played his college football at Notre Dame under head coaches Bob Davie and Tyrone Willingham, where he rushed for over 2,000 yards & 18 touchdowns.
Grant had a successful first season with the Packers, rushing for almost 1,000 yards, including five 100+ yard games, in 10 starts. He set franchise records with 201 rushing yards & 3 touchdowns in the Packers' divisional playoff game win against the Seattle Seahawks, a performance for which he was heavily praised, as they went on to reach the NFC Championship Game.
