7th round draft pick in 2014.
Played at Saginaw valley St.
40 time main reason he was drafted.

Seems to me Jeff is pretty much right on schedule.

He us contributing on ST's and is getting some playing time due to injuries.

James Jones said it best "you play how you practice"

We don't get to see what goes on at practice.

All we hear are the interviews, which are well scripted.

7th rnd pick from a small college, probably going to take him longer to develop.

Expectations are to high for most Packer picks , hopefully Janis will get to continue to return kickoffs.

He got the opportunity and made the best of it.

And this NEVER happened to Jerry Rice, Dez Bryant, Jordy or Megatron?
Come on man!
Pretty small sample size.
Maybe it was just another shitty throw, after all, we have seen a lot of them lately.

Hard to judge Janis based on the few plays where he has been targeted, or on the field for that matter.
He is a 7th round draft pick a year and a half into his career, yet many people are judging him as unworthy.
There is a lot of unfounded speculation around here regarding Janis IMHO.

yooper, it is not unfounded speculation; if he was even close to a complete WR he'd have made an impact w/ all the injuries. But, he is "worthy."

If the light goes on, he WILL, no "if", be very good, and I think like Buck" "he's on schedule." Also as Buck points out, ALL 32 GMs had the same opinion of Janis' ability; if they were right he'd be gone...But he's still here.

Being a ST stud allows for more patience and it shows an inner toughness that when harnessed will help him become James Jones-like in fighting for the ball and using his body when he doesn't get much separation.

So for now, we watch him run Go routes. In the last 3-4 games and POs we'll see him run unscouted routes he's been working on all year. But remember, just because he might rack up 2-300 yards in last 1/4 of season and POs is no reason unto itself to believe he has turned the corner.

But is he tough, intelligent, and coordinated? I think he's more along the lines of track stars Willie Gault and Renaldo Nehimiah than a professional pass catcher.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.
beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.
Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat
