Greg Jennings is not a household name and he doesnt care.

Hes the No. 1 receiver in one of the top offenses in the NFL on a Super Bowl contender, at that but receives little national attention.

Jennings still doesnt care.

Hes never been selected for the Pro Bowl.

Nope. Doesnt care. (Mostly).

Blame Greg Jennings. The senior. (Or maybe, thank him.)

The elder Jennings is a pastor at Progressive Deliverance Ministries in Kalamazoo, Mich. and raised four kids in the church with the same mantra.

If youre going to complain about doing something, dont do it, said Jennings, describing his fathers lessons. If he tells you to go clean this up and youve got to complain about it, Look, look, look. I dont need you to complain about it. Just get it done.

That was the mindset we took. You want to complain? Everybody can complain.

Jennings learned back then what complaining would get him.

His parents werent just going to let him and his three sisters run wild. Why complain?

Dreams of playing college ball at the University of Michigan disappeared at the last minute. Why complain?

Jennings is an inch shy of 6-feet and doesnt have blazing speed. Why complain?

Jennings simply went about his business at Western Michigan and left in 2006 as the most prolific receiver in school history. He started 11 games as a Packers rookie and has never started less than 13 games since. In just four seasons, Jennings ranks No. 12 in team history with 3,957 yards.

But outside of Wisconsin, Jennings is just another good player.

If I can fly under the radar and not be that guy when they mention receivers, it doesnt bother me at all, Jennings said, because I know once I go out there on Sundays and Mondays, Im going to put my best foot forward and theyll see that 8-5 can play.

Thats the way Ive always gone about it. I dont have to speak on myself. Its about going out there and putting your work out there for everyone to see and letting it speak for itself.

That characteristic isnt exactly common at that position in a league where two Cincinnati Bengals receivers have their own VH1 television shows. However, it is a perfect fit in Green Bay.

The Packers have so much talent in the passing game Donald Driver, Jermichael Finley, James Jones, Jordy Nelson that diva-like behavior wouldnt exactly fit.

One thing Ive learned and seen about him is, hes not that type of guy, said Driver, who occupies the locker to the right of Jennings. Hes all about sharing. Thats one thing you have to have, you have to have love between one another. We have so many great receivers that we have in our locker room and hes one of them that can bring so much out of all the other guys that are young. They see how he came in, and this is the way its been and its not going to change. That comes from his background.

Hes a man. Hes a man of God. When you see a man of God move that way, it makes everyone around him move the same way.

Putting it plainly, Jennings is a pretty simple guy. He goes to work every day and tries to make the most of his natural abilities. Afterwards, Jennings goes home to wife Nicole and daughters Amya, 3, and Alea, 1. A third child is due in December. He does the normal dad things, like picking Amya up from karate class.

No hanging out. No late nights.

My parents brought that to the table at an early age, Jennings said. Brought up in the church, no foolishness. Wasnt ridiculously strict, but was definitely a strict upbringing. Couldnt do everything every other kid did. At the same time, morals and values they instilled in the four of us helped us become great human beings.

None of us has ever been in trouble with the law. Better not be. Even now. We hold each other accountable.

As regular-guy as Jennings seems, hes still a prideful man. He takes pride in the details of playing football. Jennings doesnt complain about touches; his receptions dropped from 80 in 2008 to 68 in 2009, but he does want the ball.

Jennings is no longer obsessed with reaching the Pro Bowl something that changed after he was left out despite posting 920 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2007 and 1,292 yards and nine touchdowns in 2008.

Im not going to lie to you, I used to want it a lot more than I do now, Jennings said. My second year, I really thought it was a possibility I could make the Pro Bowl. Third year, same thing. After those two years and not making it, being the first alternate, it was like Im playing the game for the wrong reason. Of course you play the game for your team. It feels good when you can get recognized by your peers. Thats what its all about, as far as the Pro Bowl is concerned. At the same time, I had to realize theres no greater reward than Gods reward.

I look at it from a different standpoint now. Would I enjoy making the Pro Bowl, of course, hands down. But I dont come into a season going, man this is the year Im going to the Pro Bowl. Not anymore. It was a maturation process.

Jennings mentioned that he doesnt plan to be eligible to play in the Pro Bowl this year, anyway. The Packers hope to be in Dallas playing for the Super Bowl.

Im not sure its all that important to him, Packers receivers coach Jimmy Robinson said. He wants to be respected. Im sure he wants to be talked about. But I dont think he lives and dies with what people are saying about him.

Around here, we just all kind of go about our business and if they overlook us, then fine. If we sneak up on them, all the better.

When pressed to talk about himself, Jennings simply says the film speaks for itself. He tells a story about playing at Kalamazoo Central High School and trying to deflect attention away from himself and towards teammates.

On the football field, Jennings just is who he is.

Im blessed with what Im blessed with, Jennings said. Everyone has something unique about them. I feel like with me and my situation, Im 5-foot-11 but theres certain tangibles that I bring to the table that other guys may not be able to. I may not be the tallest receiver, but when the balls in the air, Im going to get it. Im not the fastest guy to ever play receiver, but I can stretch the field. Dont claim to be the best route-runner, but take pride in running the best routes.

I hold myself to certain standards that supersede anybody elses expectations.

What Jennings will expound on is his spirituality. A lot of people will interject faith in a conversation or a response because it seems like the right/humble thing to do, but Jennings is genuine about it. The subject flows naturally, not forced.

His plans upon retirement (one day)?

Be somewhere in the church ministering, helping my dad out, Jennings said. Doing something with the ministry. I dont know where. I dont know when.

Until then Im just going to stay on the straight and narrow and do what he tells me to do.

And if that doesnt equal a whole lot of national fanfare, Jennings is just fine with that too.
