There was little doubt that Jauan Jennings would make it in the NFL — at least in the minds of Tennessee fans. The Volunteer legend was a seventh round pick by the 49ers two years ago, despite a strong senior season in Knoxville.
Today, he made that draft pick worth it for the 49ers, and then some.
Jennings hauled in two touchdown passes and converted a key third down late against the Rams, helping San Francisco claw out of a 17-0 hole to eventually win in overtime. Jennings was up to his old tricks all day long, doing what we’ve seen him do so many times before.
