Greg Jennings, wide receiver

People these days probably know Greg Jennings from his appearances on sports media shows but there was one time when he was considered to be one of the best wide receivers in the NFL while with the Green Bay Packers.

Jennings was a second-round draft pick of the Packers in 2006 and three-peated as a 1,000-yard receiver from 2008-2010 with help from Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre and was a member of the Super Bowl XLV champion squad.

In 2013, Jennings came to the Minnesota Vikings as a free agent and couldn’t replicate his success. In three seasons wearing purple and gold, he scored 10 touchdowns and managed 1,546 yards on 127 catches.

There was one more stop for Jennings after Green Bay and Minnesota. He finished his career with the Miami Dolphins in 2015 and the two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver retired from the NFL  after the season.
