San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Jauan Jennings clearly doesn't think much of the Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver corps, save a couple of their star players. The Eagles, last season's NFC champions, are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. In last season's NFC Championship Game, the 49ers and Eagles faced off, with the latter securing a decisive victory.
In this season's regular-season rematch, the 49ers, equipped with a healthy
Brock Purdy,
dominated the NFC foe with a convincing 42-19 victory.
On Sunday, Jennings shared a photo on Instagram Stories featuring Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver Quez Watkins, along with a caption that read, "[Jalen Hurts] prolly wishing he had me. Who else they got at receiver, because [I] truly don't know. Is Number 6 playing? Sheesh [I] hope so or it's [over] for them folks."
H/t to Kristen Wong of Sports Illustrated for the find.
It's worth noting that wide receiver
A.J. Brown has been ruled out of the Wild Card matchup due to a knee injury. The No. 6 mentioned by Jennings in his post is DeVonta Smith.
Despite Jennings having only 19 catches for 265 yards this season, his lowest single-season totals over his career, he remains a fan favorite due to his reliability and physicality. The receiver also has one touchdown. Notably, twelve of Jennings' 19 catches have resulted in first downs, and he has averaged 13.9 yards per reception.
The 49ers are set to host the lowest-seeded winner from Wild Card weekend in the upcoming Divisional Playoff game at Levi's Stadium.

On Wednesday, Chat Sports contributor Chase Senior reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers were "aggressively pursuing" San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. He further stated that the Steelers are confident they can finalize a deal for the star player.
REPORTS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are aggressively pursuing a Brandon Aiyuk trade and the Steelers would be "surprised" if they don't land Aiyuk. Of note: Pittsburgh has the 20th overall pick. The Niners could look at that as equal value for Aiyuk if they can't get a deal done.…
Trent Taylor snatches up 49ers star receiver's old number
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.

"We're happy with our wide receiver group," Lynch said. "Actually, more than happy. We're really thrilled with it and thrilled to have added [Florida WR] Ricky [Pearsall] to that group and even make it stronger."
When asked if the 49ers intend to keep Aiyuk and Samuel on the roster this season,
