San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings, a former Tennessee Vols wide standout, made some NFL history on Sunday night in Super Bowl LVIII.

Jennings threw a touchdown to running back Christian McCaffrey in the first half and then he caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Brock Purdy in the second half.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Jennings is now just the second player in NFL history to throw a touchdown pass and catch a touchdown pass in the same Super Bowl, joining former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles.

Purdy. Jennings. 49ers back up 16-13!
