Jauan Jennings: A history of physical blocking

At a listed height and weight of 6’3” and 212 pounds, Jauan Jennings flashes a different look than the 49ers' other wide receivers. He’s built a little beefier with a wide frame that cuts an imposing figure to be lined up across from. This all serves to compliment his exceedingly physical mindset and competitive nature on the football field, which in college earned him a reputation as “a dog.”

This perfect match of his overpowering athleticism and will to win jumps off the screen whenever you watch any of his highlights. In his last season at Tennessee, he forced defenders into 30 missed tackles on 59 receptions, an impressive number that led the country.
