VIDEO: Remembering Packers WR Greg Jennings Scoring 99-Yard TD With a Broken Leg in Madden 10 Years Ago Today
By Andrew Gullotta
Even Saints fans should get a laugh out of this video. In one of the most viral Madden highlights of all time, Demetry Jones uploaded a Youtube video in which Packers' receiver Greg Jennings burnt the Saints' defense on just one leg. What made the play even funnier was the commentary by Jones.
Even ten years later, all Madden fans start cracking up when they hear "Darren Sharper, one of the hardest hitting safety in the league, but I put the team on my back though, YOU CANT STOP ME!"
Such a phrase is iconic in the sports video game world, and surely something that has followed Jones ever since. It's not Michael Vick in Madden '04-level cheat code, but Jennings' ridiculous virtual feat comes close.

As sports are halted, every sports fan should channel their inner Jones and aim to become a viral sensation. As for Jennings, he's arguably known more nowadays for his extracurriculars on Madden, rather than his play on the gridiron in Green Bay and Minnesota and work as an NFL analyst.
