San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings, a former Tennessee Vols standout, went viral on Saturday night during the 49ers' playoff game against the Green Bay Packers thanks to his aggressive blocking. 

Jennings blocked Packers defensive back Carrington Valentine all the way to the bench area during one play, which led to a brief scuffle that had to be broken up. 

Jennings has developed a reputation as one of the best blocking wide receivers in the NFL. 

49ers superstar running back Christian McCaffrey, in fact, said during an appearance on the ManningCast earlier this season that he feels like Jennings is one of the best blocking wide receivers he's ever seen. 

Tennessee fans have known all about Jennings' fierce competitiveness since his first season on Rocky Top nearly a decade ago when he converted to wide receiver after signing with the Vols as a quarterback during the 2015 recruiting cycle.
