Draft Profile: WR Jauan Jennings /

Jauan Jennings was a fan favorite in Knoxville due to his highlight-reel plays against Florida and Georgia during the 2016 campaign, and his gritty play-style, which became a team mindset by the end of 2019. Jennings is now in the NFL Draft Process, and he has received various projections as to where he could end up. PFF projected Jennings in the first round to the Packers, and the latest CBS Sports mock draft to the Broncos in the 7th round. There is a lot of room in between those projections, and a lot of teams that could end up with Jennings on board, so this draft profile serves fans from those respective teams with an opportunity to get to know Jauan Jennings.
