Jauan Jennings

[GetYouSomeofThat]

Honest question, is Jennings an NFL player?

Without a doubt he is.

KC finally found him late in the game

JJ is An NFL player no matter what this team does. The NFL will find you if you can play. His combine numbers won’t be great but he can play.

Why isn’t Jauan Jennings being utilized more

Who?

Why isn’t Jauan Jennings being utilized more

The new coach doles out playing time based on players effort in practice. My guess is he does not hustle in daily practice.

This Oline couldn't play dead in a western!

I would not call it an offensive line, more like an offensive array.

 

[livefaith]

YES! Jennings is probably still nursing his knee injury, thus being limited. I honestly believe the staff is holding him back to recoup a little before the Florida game. I think we see a huge dose of JJ come 9/22. JMO

He was hardly on offender today. Made a catch, but I only saw him on 4 offender plays. JP plays who worked hardest in practice. Maybe that's it.

Trees, Jennings has NFL potential.

He's a Butch Jones player, those have to go in the Pruitt era

Whether its a line or an array, we can both agree it's offensive.

 

[Grudenator]

An offensive presence.

 

[Vol Main]

He looks like the best player on the field. So yes.

 

[HalfullVol]

Let's wait and see how it plays out. If 2016 is any indicator, JJ plays best in important games. Just be patient and see how it plays out.

YOU SIR, are talking too much sense in here. He's still adjusting to being out during the Spring and being brought back around slowly to get into football shape, you say?

To the Pit of Misery with you!!

 

[sameolvol]

If I were Jennngs, I would try to transfer. This team is not doing anything to help his chances for the NFL.

Enough already with your negativity. 'Been seeing it posted all over VN. I dub thee NEGAVOL.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I have not seen Jennings in any offensive sets, only on Special teams.

isnt he coming off an injury and missing significant time bc of punishment?

its a sad state of affairs if that is the guy whos starting!

 

[IPleadInsanity]

Jennings is being doubled and there is no time for 2nd looks by the QB.

 

[HessHallHeath]

No. He’s made a couple of big plays for us but he’s not one of our top 3 WRs. Palmer, Murphy, and Callaway are all better. That’s why they get more targets

From just looking at JJ, I believe he was pretty limited during the summer with what he could do as far as working out. He looks out of shape. His snaps are increasing each game and I think the staff is bringing him along slowly and maybe even sandbagging a bit hoping Florida forgets about him. Another factor is Josh Palmer is his primary competitor for that #2 WR spot and Palmer is playing lights out which affects how many reps JJ gets. I think JJ will be fine and just needs more time to get back to where he was before the injuries. We've all seen that he can be a difference maker and I believe we will see more and more of him as the season progresses assuming he can compete and get some of Palmers snaps but it's gonna be tough because Palmer is really coming along and getting better each game.

I wonder how he is doing in practice. Pruitt said the ones who practice the hardest are the ones going to play.

So is Callaway so ......

 

[thegasman54]

Ever see JJ up close ? He is a big man

 

[Memphisvol87]

JJ looked sharp against wvu, we played ETSU.. Pruitt needs to give our guys reps. Jennings is going to get mean when Florida visits Neyland in two weeks.

 

[Volhoops]

He is our best receiver and they will not utilize him. I'd throw jump balls to him all day long when I need a catch made. He has proven he can do it. Man gets injured and everybody forgets what he did his freshman year.
