Greg Jennings

Greg Jennings currently plays for the Green Bay Packers football team. In 2006, Jennings was recruited off his Western Michigan college football team and has been going strong with the Packers ever since. As an explosive playmaker, Jennings ranks fourth in the NFL for touchdown catches and yard receiving average. Greg Jenning’s contract expires in 2012 but there is a very good chance that he is here to stay.

A fun fact about Greg Jennings is that he has known his wife since the fifth grade at his Kalamazoo elementary school and they were married in 2005. The couple now has two daughters and they try to involve the girls in as much community involvement as possible. In 2008, Greg started the Greg Jennings Foundation and hosted his second annual Greg Jennings Celebrity Golf classic, for Habitat for Humanity, that same year.

A.J. Hawk is here to stay

A.J. Hawk has been with the Packers since he was picked in the 2006 NFL Draft right out of Ohio State. As a linebacker for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team, Hawk was awarded the prestigious Lombardi Award as the best college football linebacker in the nation. A.J. Hawk was a hot commodity for the NFL recruiters after winning the award, but the Green Bay Packers finally persuaded him to their team with a six-year contract.

With achievements, such as 3rd place for Defensive Rookie of the Year, Hawk is not done yet. Watch for A.J. Hawk at the next Green Bay Packers game, because he is sure to impress.

Spencer Havner

Spencer Havner, otherwise known as “Duct Tape,” is a tight end and linebacker for the Green Bay Packers. Havner was given the quirky nickname as a joke for the numerous roles he plays on the Packers’ team.

Havner originally signed on as an undrafted free agent with the Washington Redskins when he graduated from UCLA in 2006. At UCLA, Spencer Havner was a four year starter and accumulated a few major achievements, such as earning First-team All-America and leading his team to the 2005 Sun Bowl victory.

After being let go by the Washington Redskins, Spencer Havner was picked up by the Packers in the middle of the 2006 NFL season. Havner was put on the practice squad, released and then re-signed by the team. In 2009, Havner finally made the opening foster after he switched positions from linebacker to tight end. Now that he has found his niche on the team, you can expect to see great things from Spencer Havner and the Green Bay Packers football team this next season.

Still going strong - William Blackmon

You may not have heard of Josh Bell, but William Blackmon is another story. Blackmon is a Rhode Island native and is currently the corner back and return specialist for the Green Bay Packers.

William Blackmon came right out off the Boston College Eagles football team and onto the Packers in the 2006 NFL Draft. As a college football player for the Eagles, Blackmon proved to be outstanding from the beginning. Blackmon continued to improve over his four years at Boston, earning Big East Defensive Player of the Week and All-Big East Second Team honors. Blackmon was also selected to participate in the Senior Bowl in his last season.

Upon graduation, William Blackmon knew for sure he wanted to continue his football career and was given the opportunity to play for the Green Bay Packers shortly after. In his first season with the Packers, Blackmon had a 57 yard punt-return touchdown and was apart of the 38-7 win for the NFC North title. Blackmon proved himself to his team when he became the fourth player in NFL history (since 1974) to accomplish the feat of a kick and fumble return in the same game.
