He began the 2024 season as WR3 for the San Francisco 49ers. But Jauan Jennings didn't stay in that role. Thanks, in part, to a season-ending injury to Brandon Aiyuk and a mediocre season from Deebo Samuel, Jennings asserted himself as the 49ers' top wide receiver.
This was surprising. When Kyle Shanahan decided to hire an offensive coordinator this offseason, he didn't promote Brian Griese who played quarterback in the NFL and was the 49ers' quarterbacks coach for three years.
