George Theo Teague (born February 18, 1971) is a former American football player who played free safety in the National Football League with the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, and Miami Dolphins.
An Air Force brat, Teague grew up at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas and Sembach Air Base, Germany, before moving to Alabama and attending Jefferson Davis High School.
Teague first came to note as a college athlete in the 1993 Sugar Bowl on the University of Alabama football team. This game marked his first interception with a return for a touchdown. Five plays later, he raced downfield and caught up with sprinting University of Miami wide receiver Lamar Thomas and stripped the ball from him in full stride, maintaining possession of the ball as he returned it upfield. Although the play was called back on an offsides penalty against Alabama, it effectively squashed Miami's effort to regain their offensive momentum: Miami was forced to punt soon afterward, and never mounted another substantial offensive threat in the Crimson Tide's 34–13 victory.
Teague was drafted in the first round of the 1993 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers.
Against the Detroit Lions in the 1993 playoffs, he recorded the longest interception return for a touchdown in playoffs history (101 yards).
At the end of the 1995 season, he was traded to the Atlanta Falcons for a conditional 7th round draft choice, after not producing according to his draft selection.
