8. Greg Jennings (2006-12)
The Green Bay Packers selected Western Michigan wide receiver Greg Jennings in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft and he developed into a key part of the passing game over his seven years in Green Bay.
A Pro Bowler in 2010 and 2011, Jennings had a career-high 80 receptions in 2008, gaining a career-best 1,292 yards. He had 12 touchdowns in a season twice, both in 2007 and 2010.
Jennings left Green Bay in March 2013, signing a free-agent deal with the Minnesota Vikings.
He also had the distinction of being on the receiving end of Brett Favre’s 421st career touchdown pass, the one that broke Dan Marino’s NFL record, in the first quarter of a Sept. 30, 2007, game at Minnesota.
In seven years with the Packers, Jennings had 425 receptions for 6,537 yards and 53 touchdowns.
He was released by the Vikings in March and signed a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins in April.
Jennings is seventh in Packer history with 425 receptions and 6,537 receiving yards, fifth with 53 touchdown catches and 10th with an average of 15.4 yards per reception (among players with at least 100 catches).
