JJ not making the 53 squad

[CA_Vol]

The NFL only cares about the measurables. Both are “too slow” by NFL standards, so they get lost in the shuffle.

 

[UTK]

I think he will, too. But they didn't line players up and had a "sprint" to determine who stayed and was cut.

It is the 49ers. Wouldn't surprise me lol

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Jennings needs to play in the XFL. Dude would be AWESOME with his swagger and toughness.

Simply not fast enough regardless of his toughness and intangibles.

 

[dcm3w]

NFL organizations are completely stupid these days. They no longer value "football players" just crap like "what's your 40 time and how high can you jump?" Lol

Receivers are dime a dozen. Sucks he didn't make it but there's so much talent out there it's hard to make a 53 man roster. He could've been 54th ya know

He's going to either sign with somebody else or be on a practice squad. He got incredible praise all camp. He will be in the league for a bit.

WRs may be, guys like Jauan aren't "dime a dozen"

 

[77' Vol]

Hopefully JJ still gets paid.

Hear me out here.....you may be a bit biased.

I see what you’re saying, but I’d be willing to bet that there are a lot of very fast corners who have covered Jennings who don’t want that task again. If speed was everything, we’d be watching track meets.

Jennings will not be breaking all those tackles in the NFL that he did at UT.

Yes....in college. How many of those that covered him are in the NFL?

Probably a lot. If you whoop ass in the SEC you have a better chance than most.

 

[LA vol7]

He would’ve been a heck of a safety

 

[Jackcrevol]

Wasnt there a blurb about the coaches loving him? headscratcher.

Many on VN overstated what he would do as a professional like he was the second coming. Now back down to reality.

 

[OH-Vol]

Huge Vols and Niners fan, I don't get it especially after Hurd went down. We kept 4 d*mn TEs when our #1 TE is the best in the NFL....I hope we sign him to the practice squad and he develops into the Redzone guy we need!!

Do you not think part of this is based on watching him play against nfl players?

Thats in college. This is the NFL. No DBs are scared of JJ. I love JJ but if most Vol fans would be honest, I believe they would say that JJs chances in the NFL are slim.

 

[UTK]

Okay nevermind, JJ is clearly a scrub.

 

[UTK]

Jennings will not be breaking all those tackles in the NFL that he did at UT.

Obviously but he will still break plenty. It's in his DNA.

 

[munsterlander]

I don't get how folks are surprised a WR that runs a 4.7+ forty is going to play in the NFL. There are DL in the league that can cover that type WR.

Rice, Biletnikoff, Welker. Not saying JJ is any of them, just that speed is not everything.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Not getting put on the 53 man roster is not the be all end all. He didn't get rave reviews in camp for nothing.

 

[Volfan1000]

Jacksonville is terrible. Organization is a circus.

The Jaguars are punting the 2020 season after trading their best defender to Minnesota for draft picks and releasing Dobbs and Fournette who quickly signed with Tampa Bay.

It will be interesting to see if former Vol assistant Doug Marrone stays on as head coach of Jacksonville after this season.

Bull crap. Jerry rice was never ever ever ever close to a 4.4 forty. Was he crap? It’s not always about speed and measurables. The lack of a preseason cost JJ. simple

 

[escapegoat2]

Here’s another example. Forgive my typos. Darius Hayward bay. Top pick by raiders. Blazing speed. Pick was laughed at by anyone with a brain. Raiders said his speed is why!
BUSSSSSSTTTTTTTT

would take JJ on any team I follow. And twice on sundays

 

[Tnman1]

JJ will get picked up, too much upside.
