Jauan Jennings Wins FedEx Air & Ground Player of Week 3

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings is one of two FedEx Air & Ground Player of Week 3 Award winners after a career-high in receptions (11), receiving yards (175) and touchdowns (three) against the Los Angeles Rams. By recording those impressive numbers, he became just the second player in franchise history to register 10-or-more receptions, 150-or-more receiving yards and three-or-more receiving touchdowns in a single game, joining wide receiver Jerry Rice, who accomplished the feat three times.

Jennings had a number of eye-catching receptions versus the Rams, but none with more wow-factor than his third quarter grab over the top of L.A. safety Quentin Lake’s head for the 32-yard gain. In a game in which the 49ers were missing some key offensive playmakers, Jennings stepped up to help power San Francisco’s offense in a hard-fought NFC West battle.

“Jauan was unbelievable,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said. “I think the numbers show it, but it’s more than the numbers. He was a warrior the whole game. He’s always like that, and he got a lot more opportunities (Sunday). He was automatic on every single one. Even on some bad looks, when you didn’t know if the ball should go there, you quickly saw after they weren’t going to take that away from Jauan. He was very inspiring with how he played.”
