How are you feeling, considering the late-season MCL sprain that kept you out of the final three regular-season games?
I’m doing good. My body is getting better. The knee is getting a chance to kind of recover from the season. Obviously it’s a long season that takes a toll on your body. I'm starting to feel good again.
Are you starting to get in touch with your football mortality?
(Laughs). Absolutely. The further in you get, the more of a toll it takes on your body and you feel it after the season when you start your workout regimens. I noticed that I definitely have to stretch a lot more before I jump into different workouts. It feels good to get some longevity, but at the same time you know what's happening because you can feel it.”
You’ve appeared on the TV shows Criminal Minds and Royal Pains. What's harder, pro football or acting?
Acting. Hands down. Becoming something or some image or some role or some person - it’s a lot tougher than performing in front of 70,000 people. Having that camera on you like, 'Action. Hit it right now.' This is your claim to fame. This is your one shot. It's a lot of pressure. And it's tough to become that person at that moment in that role and to deliver your best line and your best acting.
Not the same as third and long at Lambeau?
Not at all. I was born to do that.
You've said you're a Jerry Rice guy. Why is he the greatest of all time, according to you?
His work ethic and his determination. I have a saying: Be great. And he exemplifies how you be great. And not complain about it. You just do it. Year after year everyone knew he was that guy. They tried to stop him and they couldn't. He's in the Hall for a reason. I know they say records are meant to be broken, but he set some records that I believe will never be broken.
You've said you were initially skeptical of Twitter but now you're a Twitter star. What was behind your early doubts?
Just putting myself out there. It fills the void for people who can't actually touch, physically, they can feel like they know Greg Jennings via Twitter.
Are you skeptical of HGH testing, why do you think so many players are and why do you think it's taken so long to get implemented in the NFL?
I really don't have a problem with it. If you can't tell, I'm 100 percent natural. I have no issue with it. I think that when it comes to performance enhancing drugs there’s a time and a place, but with what we do, there’s already a risk that we take putting ourselves on the field, and putting ourselves in harm’s way. You can’t have one guy who's using something that's going to enhance his performance and ultimately put you at even more risk. You have to even out the playing field. There has to be some kind of liability. It would be too much of a lopsided game if you had people getting away with it.
Better passer: Aaron Rodgers or Matt Flynn?
(Laughs). Being that I've caught several balls from Aaron and only a few from Matt, I'd have to say Aaron. Matt's going to be an outstanding quarterback in this league. He's gotten a lot of attention because of his output in the games he's had. It goes deeper than that. The way he's prepared himself. The way he's handled the situation of being the backup wasn't typical. He approached every game as I saw Aaron do: As a starter. As if Aaron was not going to play and he was going to lead us to a win. What everyone saw in that Detroit game was a guy who prepared himself physically and mentally as though he was a starter.
Is it difficult for a black athlete playing Green Bay?
It’s not difficult. Initially I thought it was. I remember when I got there I was looking around like ‘Where are we going?’ We landed and we were driving around and there was nothing around for a couple miles, but the people were so nice. I remember walking through a Wal-mart and the people just speaking. And I initially thought, ‘Are they speaking to me because black people are few and far between?’ It was just because they're social butterflies up there. They really take on the ownership of that team, like they’re on that field with you. Initially no one knew who I was. But they reached out to me. That was pretty impressive. It's a great place to live and a great organization.
What’s it like playing in Lambeau?
It’s a unique place to play, but our fans are almost too nice. It’s not a hostile environment. It's a warm environment. It's a place where everyone wants to play because of the history. It's almost an attraction like Disney World. It works to our advantage at times, but at times it’s like everyone wants to get up to play because 'This is Lambeau. This is hallowed ground.'
So you'd like the fans to be like Eagles fans?
No no no. We don't want that. Just don't be as nice. Don't buy beer for the opposing fans! That's our beer for you guys! (Laughs). But there's no venue that can top it.
What got you involved with the USAID charity?
Just the impact. The thing about philanthropic work is, you don't do it solely for the attention. You do it to put a smile on someone else's face. You do it because you know it's the right thing to do. For myself, knowing what we do at the Greg Jennings Foundation, geared toward youth and education, we try to empower kids and youth and give them something no one can take away.
