9ers fan,

Volunteer fan (Jauan's alma mater) here, turned recent 49ers fan due to Jauan. You guys have always had E-man, which is still such a great story, but Jennings is one of the more beloved Vols in recent history. So I've followed the team all year. Followed the team when there was debate about Hurd getting a roster spot over Jennings earlier (hahahahahhahha). Notice no Vol fan ever came over here to post about Hurd, but everyone loses their $hit over Jauan. You're beginning to get a glimpse of why he was such a fan favorite. Not only for his play on the field, but watch his pressers. He's so hard not to like.

For some folks that might be late to the party on Jauan, here's a few posts I made just before the season started. You can see, he's EXACTLY the type of player he was in college, he's EXACTLY the type of player why TN fans loved him so much, and he's EXACTLY the kind of player that turned a bunch of hick fans from East TN into huge fans of a Northern California football team.

Here are a few post game interviews from him. Even if that ends up being the best game of his 49er career (it will not, by the way), how can anyone not like this kid. And like I said before, for those that still bring up his "character" being the thing that dropped him…watch these pressers. His character was the least of anyone's concern. I think I said the same thing in one of the above posts, but Jauan is not a guy you have to worry about punching a woman or getting arrested. A personal foul flag is the worst thing that will happen, but it's all from a place of passion, not malice. What DID dropp Jauan all the way to the 7th, is his combine/measurables. He's slow, he's not got a big wingspan, he has small hands, and he bobbles too many catches. But he plays SO big, and he's SO clutch, and he's such a team/fan favorite. By the end of year 2, the fact that Hurd is off the team and Jennings is ballin' out surprised 0 TN fans. Go Niners baby!!




This post warms my scrotum
Finally we have a #1, #2, and #3 guy. All in 2 drafts. Has Kyle and Co finally figured out how to draft WRs. Everyone's right, all we need is a true speed guy.

And a little short white guy.

Same!! I normally don't read long posts, but this insight was a joy to read. Welcome, AFVolunteer!
It's always a pleasure to add knowledgeable football-heads to our fanbase!

I can TOTALLY see why Vols' fans love the guy! Thanks for the added info as it confirms what I see on the field: A hungry, gritty WR that fits our system and philosophy. Keep 'em coming!

Speaking of short white guys. Seen Tent Taylor on the Bengals last game when flipping channels.

We've had both, short white guy in Trent Taylor and speedster dude in Goodwin. Kyle's version of side snacks to hold us over before the big meal. Both couldn't stay healthy.

He's got the hands of a Jerry Rice, the attitude of a Steve Smith, physicality of a TO, and the speed/vertical of a rookie Randy Moss
I think I read from one of the old articles, Adam Peters was also responsible for drafting Jennings. We should not let this guy go. He's probably the one who's pushing the best envelope for Lynch. Also look, with Peters presence, we have someone whose production covers for Shanahan's missed drafts.
Wait until Shanahan starts coming up with trick plays that let Jennings throw it.

Doesnt have great hands. These comparisons to Larry Fitz and Boldin are crazy. Dude has more drops this year in limited action than Ive seen Larry drop in his career.

Love the guy but come on. Hands at least while catching, is not his strong suit.
this dude can be productive when aiyuk, samuel and kittle are all on the same field together

That's an excellent assortment of weapons. Add Juice and Mitchell.

Imagine saying Larry Fitz has no speed. I mean are we talking 40 year old Fitz?

You know how 49er fans are. Some still feel that Jimmy G is a top 5 quarterback in the NFL. LOL.

And that was exactly what happened when first kittle and then Aiyuk were doubled. Jauan is singled …or forgotten. With deebo, Aiyuk, kittle, Jauan, au jus, Elijah…we got plenty of targets…and last game kyle used them all.
