San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings, a former Tennessee Vols standout, had a massive game in Super Bowl LVIII.
The former Vol threw a touchdown to Christian McCaffrey while also catching four passes for 42 yards on five targets.
Jennings drew a key holding call in overtime, too.
According to Pro Football Focus, Jennings was the fourth-highest graded player in the Super Bowl at 82.4. The former Vol was the highest graded offensive player.
From PFF: Jennings was instrumental in the Niners' second-half passing game. All four of his targets came late, which he converted into a pair of first downs and a score, earning him a 79.0 receiving grade. He also excelled as a run blocker, earning a 79.9 grade — the second-highest mark among qualifying skill players.
Jennings' big game in the Super Bowl couldn't have come at a better time. The former seventh round draft pick is set to be a restricted free agent this offseason (which means the 49ers can match any offer sheet he receives). Jennings should receive a decent payday thanks to his strong play this season and in the Super Bowl.
