There are no questions about Jauan Jennings’ production ability after he led Tennessee football in receiving this past year and was the clutch playmaker for the Vols throughout his career. His football instincts are proven to be elite as well.

Not only did Jennings lead the Vols in all receiving categories, but he also led the nation in yards after contact for receivers. That shows just how elite of a producer he can be at the pro level, and teams who turn their back on him in the NFL Draft will be making a huge mistake. However, there are some drawbacks.

Despite his 6’3″ 208-pound frame in college, being a former quarterback and a concern about lack of speed could hurt Jennings’ stock. As a result, his physical limitations are already a concern for everybody, meaning the combine can only help him going forward, which is why he tops this list.

If Jennings has a surprisingly fast 40-time and shows a level of strength that matches his ability to break tackles, then his draft stock will shoot up. After all, nobody will question his instincts on the field, his leadership abilities and his proven track record of production. So he can only help himself with anything he does this week despite a shocking injury.

A couple of years ago, Jennings was dismissed from the team by an interim coach. Then he came back and turned into UT’s top producer this past season. Now, his NFL Draft stock is in pretty decent shape with that production. The combine is his best opportunity to prove he should become a guy taken in the top two rounds. Either way, though, he’ll be successful.
