Greg Jennings attended Central High School in Kalamazoo, Michigan where he played football, basketball, and ran track. He earned all-conference honors as a junior and all-conference and all-state honors as a senior. He went on to Western Michigan where he caught 10 passes for 138 yards and averaged 29 yards per kickoff return in 2002. He has a breakout year the following season totaling 56 receptions for 1,050 yards and a school record 14 touchdown receptions. He returned kicks for the second consecutive season, averaging 21.6 yard per return. He was voted team offensive MVP and named second team all-MAC for his play as a sophomore. Greg had another great season as a junior, finishing with 74 receptions for 1,092 yards and 11 touchdowns. He became just the second Bronco in school history to have back-to-back 1,000 yard receiving seasons. He averaged over 14 yards per punt return that season as well. He was named team MVP, offensive MVP, and first team all-Mac for his play as a junior. Jennings saved his best performance for his senior season, totaling 98 receptions for 1,259 yards and tying his own school record of 14 touchdown receptions in a single season.

Greg Jennings has a lot of experience, having started and been the top receiver for Western Michigan over the past three seasons. Greg is an intelligent player and an extremely hard worker. He has the speed to make plays down the field and the toughness to make a difficult catch over the middle. He runs good routes and does a good job of putting himself in position to make the catch. He has soft hands and catches the ball away from his body. He does a good job of tucking the ball away after the catch. He can be an elusive open field runner who will get yards after the catch. Jennings didn’t play against the highest level of competition at Western Michigan. He also lacks ideal size and strength. He isn’t much of a blocker and he will have trouble against bigger, more physical defensive backs at times. Greg Jennings was an extremely productive player in college who has been moving up draft boards after his fine performance at the combine. His ability to return kickoffs and punts will only add to his draft day value. He should be drafted on the second day in the 2006 NFL draft.
