The Green Bay Packers' wide receiver Greg Jennings has had a busy off-season. While most players spend their time staying in shape and traveling, wide receiver Greg Jennings added college degree and TV guest appearance to his list of accomplishments. This past weekend, Jennings received his bachelor of arts in communications from Western Michigan University. After being drafted in 2006, Greg Jennings left Western Michigan University with sixteen credits left. He took self-taught courses in order to finish his degree. This week, Jennings will appear in an episode of Criminal Minds as a lab-tech. Don't expect to see him for more than thirty seconds, though!

Stories like these make me love Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings even more. First of all, I love seeing athletes flex their acting muscles. Secondly, the fact that Jennings took a statistics and a finance class among other courses to finish his degree makes me respect him even more! I love a guy who will go to great lengths to accomplish his goals. Yeah, he doesn't need a degree thanks to his cushy job in the NFL, but it was something he had always promised himself he'd get and then he did. Way to go, Greg Jennings! Can't wait to see what you will do during 2010 Green Bay Packers season!
