GREG JENNINGS • GREEN BAY PACKERS BRONCOS IN THE PROS
GREG JENNINGS (2002-05) Greg Jennings (2002-05) left WMU as the all-time leader in career receptions (238), touchdowns (39) and all-purpose yards (5,093). He held the single-season record for yards (1,259), and receptions (98) and led the nation in receptions in 2005 with 98. He is still the program’s leader in TDs in a season (14, twice). He was a Biletinikoff Award semifinalist and was named AP All-America. Jennings, a native of Kalamazoo, also became the first football student-athlete to win both the Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Year and the Vern Smith Leadership Award since Randy Moss (1997). He was drafted in 2006 with the 52nd overall pick by the Green Bay Packers. He appeared in 14 games, making 11 starts and compiled 45 receptions for 632 yards and three TDs en route to being named to the 2006 NFL All-Rookie Team. Jennings also owns the distinct honor of being on the receiving end of Brett Favre’s 400th-career touchdown pass, a 75-yard catch and run at Detroit. He will forever be linked to Favre as he also hauled in the future Hall of Famer’s record-tying 420th and record-breaking 421st career TD passes in 2007. Jennings finished 2007 with 12 TD receptions and 920 yards receiving for Green Bay, and registered the first 1,000-yard receiving season of his career with 1,292 in 2008.
