Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings told the media that New England Patriots star Julian Edelman is not “Hall of Fame” caliber.
Despite the fact that Edelman is enjoying a high as a recent winner of the Super Bowl — and has a Disney World vacation to show for his trouble — Jennings feels that he has a long way to go before he can make a difference enough to make it into the Hall of Fame.

This isn't the first time that Jennings has criticized a modern football player. According to 24/7 Sports, Jennings has previously criticized Packers star Aaron Rodgers after the team lost to the Lions last year.
“What stood out was his body language, his demeanor, his lack of involvement with the guys during the game. He had a look on him like he was disgusted, but it was kind of like the ‘Here We Go Again'.”

Greg Jennings is nothing if not opinionated about the way things are in football today, which is why, perhaps, he's such an effective commentator on the sports talk circuit.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jennings is next set to appear on Shop Talk, which is where players will all meet on a panel to discuss life — and social justice — after their football careers.
The Shop Talk forums began organically in 2012 at The Social Club’s flagship location just outside of downtown Detroit, near Wayne State University.
In addition to Greg Jennings, the NFL's executive vice president Troy Vincent is set to also make an appearance.
