Jeff Janis gives Aaron Rodgers, Packers coaches an option to consider

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- They were only two plays, but perhaps it was the beginning of something big for Jeff Janis.

Or maybe he will go back to being the player Green Bay Packers' fans clamor for but seldom see on the field.

But at least the second-year receiver who quickly became a fan favorite perhaps because of his small-college roots at Saginaw Valley State finally got his chance in a meaningful game. If nothing else, Janis' two catches for 79 yards in Sunday’s 27-20 victory against the San Diego Chargers at Lambeau Field will give coach Mike McCarthy and his offensive staff something to think about during this week’s bye.
