Jeff Janis Biography

Jeff Janis was born June 24, 1991 and is a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Saginaw Valley State.

Janis was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the seventh round (236th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. Janis was the first Saginaw Valley State Cardinal drafted since Todd Herremans in 2005, and the first wide receiver in school history to be drafted, though his early role on the team was more on the special teams rather than taking snaps at wide receiver.

He had a breakout game, however, in the NFC divisional playoff game on January 16, 2016, against the Arizona Cardinals. Janis caught 7 passes for 145 yards and 2 touchdowns, including a 41-yard Hail Mary pass from Aaron Rodgers on the final play of regulation to bring the game into overtime. The Packers, however, lost 26-20.
