Despite the San Francisco 49ers' 27-24 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, wide receiver Jauan Jennings delivered a standout performance, earning a nomination for the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Award.
Jennings hauled in 11 passes for a career-high 175 yards and all three of quarterback Brock Purdy's touchdown throws. He became just the second player in franchise history—alongside Jerry Rice—to record 10 or more receptions, 150 or more receiving yards, and three or more touchdown catches in a single game.
The other nominees are Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton, Rams running back Kyren Williams, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry, and Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor.
FedEx allows fans to recognize the best performances from skill-position players each week by voting at nfl.com/voting/air-and-ground. Notably, there are no longer positional restrictions for the FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week Awards. Regardless of position, the two players with the most votes will be named FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week when voting closes at 12:00 PM PT on Wednesday.
FedEx will designate weekly donations of $2,000 in the names of the two winning players ($4,000 total) to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), providing need-based scholarships to deserving HBCU students throughout the season.
