I'm going to miss Jennings and what a roller coaster this young man has experienced. The highs of 2015-16--things looking very bright then totally implode into the depths of what has truly been the worst years in TN football history. I honestly didn't expect him to have this good of year and considering our QB situation--it's pretty amazing he's 230yds or so from a 1000 yd season w/two games left. I really hope he gets there somehow, but regardless, it's been one heck of a season for one of our most beloved players. The catch against GA in 16' with Vern exclaiming "Jauan Jennings!" was forever etched into my kid's memory. The juggling TD catch to help beat Fl and the countless times he just wills his way to make a positive play with nothing more than pure grit and effort. It has truly been a great thing to watch. I hope they can finish strong to send JJ and these seniors out the right way. GBO 🍊

Among all of Jennings amazing moments in his time here, one of his best (and least talked about) moments was this year in the SC game.

We needed a TD, the camera zoomed in on him in the huddle and it was obvious he was telling JG to put the ball in his hands. JG threw it to the back of the end zone and Jennings made that amazing catch.

If this thing gets turned around for the long haul, we need to never forget Jennings righted the ship for Tennessee.

Personally, I am glad Coach Fulmer and Coach Pruitt gave JJ a second chance. JJ is a great example of a person (player) that picked up the pieces, did all that was required of him, and moved forward in a positive manner. Great job!

I agree with this sentiment but would dispute one aspect of it.... I don’t know that I would say he “picked up the pieces.” Jennings wasn’t in a bad place when he got kicked off the team.

His insta-rant was unbelievably stupid, but we all see his level of passion for Tennessee, and he just hit his breaking point with this coaching staff, just like the rest of us did. His public burst of rage was just years of built up frustration towards Butch and Company’s snake oil salesmen nonsense.

I’m not sure if this made TV but on the Jumbotron at some point in that same game he was in the middle of the defensive huddle during a stoppage in play yelling and hyping them up and encouraging them. We’ll miss his leadership next year a lot

I disagree that it was unbelievably stupid. It was needed and right on cue.
Imo of course.

Jennings is my favorite Vol of all-time. Yeah, even more that Manning. You would be hard pressed to find someone, on the offensive side, that wants to play as hard and seeks to punish people who want to tackle him.

Yes it is sad to see him go after this season, he is a great athlete - very versatile in what he can do on
the field, he makes the game fun to watch, like Cordarrelle Patterson - when he gets the ball it's a possible play maker
