Greg Jennings is considered a young receiver rapidly maturing into one of the league's most dangerous playmakers. After being picked in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft, Jennings made history when he caught Brett Favre's 400th NFL touchdown pass, and one year later he was the man with the reception that drew Favre level with Dan Marino's record of 420 touchdowns as well as the one that put Favre into the all-time lead. Jennings has a career total of 24 touchdowns and with his tremendous speed and athletic ability expectations of future success will continue to rise throughout the league.
Team Info
The Packers began playing in 1919 and were among the founding members of the NFL in 1921. They have been a publicly-owned company since 1923 and remain the only NFL team publicly owned to this day. Some of the game's greats have played for the Packers - quarterback Bart Starr and running back Jim Taylor - while legendary head coach Vince Lombardi was in charge of the team from 1959-67. The Packers won nine NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls in 1967 and 1968. After a 29-year drought, the Packers returned to glory by winning the Super Bowl in 1997 before losing to the Denver Broncos in the final a year later. In 2007 the Packers marked legendary quarterback Brett Favre's final season with the team with a 13-3 record and a trip to the playoffs. However, they were beaten in the NFC Championship game by the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Favre was traded to the New York Jets during August 2008, and Aaron Rodgers replaced him as the team's quarterback after 14 years with Favre at the helm of the offense. Rodgers' first season in charge saw the Packers slide to a 6-10 record, disappointing the 'Cheesehead' fans of the Packers.
