"Wide receiver isn't widely viewed as one of pro football's more cerebral positions, but in Greg Jennings' eyes nothing is more critical to his game than outthinking the opposition.

Often described as a stylish, sleek wide receiver, Jennings certainly is that but also a whole lot more.

To the naked eye, it's legs and hands and talent that have made Jennings one of the half-dozen or so finest wide receivers in the National Football League.

To Jennings, playing one of the NFL's glamour positions is mostly a matter of what's between the ears.

"I approach the game a little differently," Jennings said late last month. "I think the No. 1 thing that separates the men from the boys (at wide receiver) is the mind-set. A lot of guys talk about being the best but some don't really have the mind-set that it takes to be the best.

"Honestly, it's more of a mental (test). My physical assets are there; I'm going to display those. It's your study habits, your work habits throughout the week. That goes a long way.""
