Jauan Jennings leaves Tennessee (Debunked rumor)

[photovol]

Would love to have JJ back. He's one of the all time greats and having him play in 2019 would make huge difference.

I love the Dog in JJ, but he's far from one of the all time greats, unfortunately

You sound so battered

Yeah... Some are better than others. Lol

Yea...most are rooted in emotional attachments.
I actually agree with you. JJ isn't even a top 5 WR at Tennessee.
He's an all time great if you expand the list to maybe 100 - 200 dudes.

Jennings is a player that has made a few highlight plays over his career, yet he has never produced at a consistently high level. If he were to leave, he would go down as just another player that underperformed at UT.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that he underperformed. He had a respectable season in 2016 and lost 2017 to injury. They just didn’t get him the touches this year. It’s hard to get any rhythm at all when you aren’t getting attempts.

He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. He had potential to be a much better player.

That said, the idea of him being on the UT receiver AllStar team is pretty ridiculous. Memories are short.

Hopefully he gets a shot. But I think his 40 time will eat his lunch.

I bet he runs a 4.6, which is plenty fast for a WR of his size.

Solid player that plays hard but has never led the team in receiving in a season.

The two legendary catches have made the legend larger than the man.

Good player that plays very hard, but not a great player.

Should JJ leave, I will remember him for the UGA win & for his hard blocking on running plays.
I remember Marquez North for the sideline, 3rd down, one arm catch he made.
I remember Zack Rodgers for his 70 yard catch he made against North Carolina State
Nothing more

 

[SpookyAction]

He could shine this year. Hope he does not go pro. I fear it will not be a success.
The situation makes me wonder if his knee is worse than believed and it is now or never for the NFL.

Crooms was moved to tight end in the NFL and JJ has the tight end size and speed
Problem solved

That might be a good move, he already blocks real well. Though, Croom had been moved to TE here at UT before the NFL, so he already had time there on tape

 

[USCGVOL]

Has there been any developments on this? When does he need to make up his mind?

So production doesn’t matter as long as you get an occasional highlight clip. That attitude is why UT has been irrelevant for so long. Jennings’ most productive season at UT was 2016. He caught 40 passes for 580 yards in 13 games. That’s 3 catches per game for 45 yards per game. Some of you guys have gotten so used to mediocrity that you don’t even remember what a great performance looks like.

And you should realize how mediocre we've been for a decade.

I think I read somewhere that tomorrow is the last day to enroll in classes.

 

[dcm3w]

He hasn't had much of a chance. Dobbs couldn't pass, last year we didn't pass. When he gets the chance, he's a beast. Even when he ain't getting the ball. Hes blocking like a mad man

In Dobbs' last two seasons, he put up a good TD/INT ration with his final throwing for 27 TDs which is JJ's most productive season. However, Dobbs still threw under 3k yards... Which Josh Malone almost had a 1000 of those yards...

And in 2017 he was injured...

This past season... Couldn't consistently get any of the receivers the ball.

I don't think the problem is that he's inconsistent but we haven't had much consistent production in the passing during his tenure.

If he came back for his senior season I could see a senior Montario Hardesty type of year from him

JJ doesn't have the size for an NFL tight end, are you kidding?

JJ's grades may have become an issue, does anyone know how his grades were, I'd certainally be interested

 

[VolNExile]

Umm, how is that any of our business, any more than our own grades, or our kids’ grades?

That’s the business of their professors, coaching staff, and families.

It's sad that Tennessee Football has been bad to mediocre for so long, the young fans have no clue what "one of the all time greats" even looks like on the field. Jennings is a good player but his production on the field in no way puts him in the category as "one of the all time greats." He is, however, a part of the two great plays in recent Tennessee history.

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Name another recent player who has multiple passing TD’s, multiple receiving TD’s, multiple tackles and an interception.

Hopefully he comes back!

Note: Jennings has ahold of the wailing Capon's jersey, NOT his facemark or helmet.

We need JJ back
