Greg Jennings: The New Number One in Green Bay

According to a variety of sources, the Green Bay Packers are close to giving an extension to wide receiver Greg Jennings to the sweet tune of ten million dollars. I love Greg Jennings because I knew about him from the start. I remember reading about him before the start of his senior year of college at Western Michigan and when the Packers got him in the second round of the draft, I knew it was a complete steal for Green Bay. As the number two reciever, he became a great player becoming a complete vertical threat making huge plays for the Packers down the stretch. Now it is pretty clear to all of us that Driver will not be a number one anymore and Jennings is reading to take over as the top dog.

The local media is worried about the fact that Jennings isnt a top ten receiver right now therefore he is not worth the money. I disagree while I dont think he isnt in the realm of TO, Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerland; I still believe he will be a superstar in this league. Some are saying that a receiver is not worth the money but I think Jennings can be a top flite receiver come two years.

The one thing that people are forgetting is that Greg Jennings actually works hard and doesnt bitch about starting time basically he isnt a football diva like his other wide out associates. I dont think he will pull an Antonio Freeman where he just decides to mail in the rest of his time at Green Bay when he got his money. I think people are being very arrogant if they dont believe that Jennings is ready to be a number one starter. Yes he is going to draw brand-new double teams this year and better corner backs facing him so he might struggle drawing frustration if he signs this deal. But I go back to his work ethic where he will keep his ass in the video room until Jennings figures out how to become a better wide out.
