"Sometime in the playoffs, before the NFC Championship Game, a few Green Bay Packers players were in the training room, dreaming and discussing the potential opportunities - like endorsement deals they might get - if they went all the way and won the Super Bowl.

"Charles Woodson walked in and said, 'Look, fellas, you win the Super Bowl? You'll pretty much get whatever you want,'" receiver Greg Jennings said. "And that has kind of been the case. It has opened up so many doors and avenues, its unreal."

Network award shows. Charity golf events with celebrities. And an open door Jennings didn't expect - acting.

Jennings made an appearance on the CBS show "Criminal Minds" last year. It was a quick appearance, fun and relatively low-key.

But after the Packers won Super Bowl XLV, the director from USA Network's "Royal Pains" called Jennings because they had actually written a script for him.

Jennings will play himself, although as a coach in a football-themed episode. Jennings didn't know the air date yet, but the show's website said the new season kicks off June 29.

Jennings couldn't believe the opportunity. It's not like he's taken acting classes.

"That's the kind of opportunity I'm talking about," Jennings said. "This has allowed me to explore new opportunities and possibilities."

In early May, he went on location to the Hamptons of Long Island for four days of filming. After doing almost all of his scenes in one or two takes, he was told by the director he was naturally good at acting."
