Jauan Jennings is one of the best blocking wide receivers in the league, and that can carry some hefty fines. The San Francisco 49ers pass catcher was fined $11,817 for his unnecessary roughness penalty during the 49ers’ 40-34 loss to the Detroit Lions last Monday.
The play in question involved Jennings getting tangled up with Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold. To summarize, Jennings took Arnold for a ride through the end zone and the whistle. Things ended with Arnold on his back near the barricade. As Jennings stood up (pushing himself off Arnold), Lions safety Kerby Joseph came over and shoved Jennings over the barricade into the seats.
