Greg Jennings' key to early success? 'Catch the ball'

GREEN BAY – Greg Jennings knows a little something about what the Packers' rookie receivers are going through this season.

Back in 2006, as a second-round draft pick from Western Michigan, Jennings needed to develop a rapport, and quickly, with a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Brett Favre.

While Jennings gives the credit for his early success – more than 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns over his first two seasons, including the scores that allowed the Packers' iconic QB to tie and break the NFL's all-time TD pass record at the time – to Favre, he simply focused on being reliable, and that started with his sure hands.
