Packers fans booed Greg Jennings when he came back to Lambeau Field last year.
But that’s not the reason the Vikings wide receiver has moved on, and spoke freely when asked if he missed Green Bay.
“Honestly, to be honest, no,” Jennings said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. “It doesn’t because — and this is sincerity right here — it really has nothing to do with football. From a football standpoint, I would have loved to have finished my career out in Green Bay, but from where I am spiritually and where I am with my family and the growth that we’ve had because of what we have around us educationally — and there was some great educational systems there, as well — but this is a step up for us.
“We’re just embracing it. We’re excited to be here, and not just because of what football affords and presents but because of everything else that comes with it.”
Not every player falls in love with the pastoral scene of rural Wisconsin, and there was no turning down the $45 million contract the Vikings gave him. But it might not make him any more popular there, considered the reception he got last season.
