Jauan Jennings could end up going from a 49ers practice squad player his rookie year to a potential starting slot receiver in year two.
If one was to make an argument why NFL offseason programs are so vitally important, they could easily use San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings as a case study.
The Niners used their final pick in the 2020 NFL Draft to grab Jennings, a 6-foot-3 and 212-pound physical pass-catcher out of Tennessee, yet only got to work him out remotely before training camp, as the pandemic eliminated rookie minicamp and organized team activities.
