Also on the receiving end of Aaron Rodgers’ first career TD pass, which came in 2007 at Dallas

Nearly eclipsed 1,000 yards in ’07, gaining 920 on 53 catches, and likely would have if not for missing three games

All his big plays in 2007 helped produce a 17.4-yard average per catch, fourth-best in the NFL, and his 12 TDs were the most by a Packers WR since Javon Walker also had 12 in 2004

Displayed his veteran awareness with two particularly memorable plays as a rookie, one when he lateraled to Donald Driver after a reception to pick up 30 extra yards at Minnesota (Nov. 12), and another when he signaled Favre that Ruvell Martin was wide open down the far sideline, leading to a TD pass at San Francisco (Dec. 10)

Was the second of two second-round draft choices by Green Bay in the 2006 draft (52nd overall), the Packers using a pick obtained in a draft-day trade down of 16 spots with the Patriots

First TD came over the middle on a bullet throw from Rodgers, who threaded the pass between safeties Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu, with Jennings taking a big hit from Polamalu at the goal line but hanging on. Second TD came on a short corner fade, a play Jennings had been saying on the sideline would be open. Perhaps his biggest catch came in the fourth quarter, on third-and-10 from the Green Bay 25 with the Packers leading just 28-25; barely got a step on CB Ike Taylor as he snatched a laser from Rodgers over the middle for 31 yards, helping set up a FG for the game’s final points.
