Despite being on the same team as Brandon Aiyuk and often being looked to as more a physical presence than a traditional route runner, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings had a breakout year in 2024, posting career highs in receptions, touchdowns, games started, and receiving yards. Unfortunately, despite finally achieving regular playing time and proving his worth, Jennings missed out on a big payday due to a controversial ejection during the last week of the 2024 NFL season.
In an episode of the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast (hosted by former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan), star 49ers tight end Greg Kittle talked about Jennings’ ejection and how it not just hamstrung the team that day, but prevented the wide receiver from reaching a milestone that would’ve gotten him a ton of money.
