Jennings has since written himself into trivia books everywhere as he has become the answer to any "Who was the Packers' wide receiver who caught [insert historical Brett Favre pass]?"

On September 24, 2006, he caught a 75-yard TD pass from Brett Favre against the Detroit Lions. It was Favre's 400th TD pass for his career, and he is only the second quarterback in NFL history to complete this achievement. He also recorded his first 100 yard game. He had 3 catches for 101 yds and 1 touchdown. Jennings was voted NFL Rookie of the Week for games played September 24-25, 2006, the first time he has received this honor.

Almost exactly a year later, on September 23, 2007, Jennings caught Favre's 420th touchdown pass, a slant route that Jennings broke for 57 yards that tied Favre with Dan Marino on the all-time career touchdown pass list.

A week later, Jennings caught Favre's 421st in the first quarter of a game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Jennings also hauled in game winning touchdown passes in wins over the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs. The 82-yard reception in overtime against the Broncos tied him for the second longest touchdown reception in NFL overtime history.

On November 29, 2007, Jennings was on the receiving end of Aaron Rodgers' first touchdown pass.

As of Week 14, Jennings ranks fourth in the NFL in touchdown receptions (12), behind only Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Braylon Edwards, and is just 122 yards from his first 1,000-yard receiving year.
