Former Tennessee Vols WR Jauan Jennings leads the NFL in impressive stat

Former Tennessee Vols wide receiver Jauan Jennings is at the top of the NFL leaderboard in an impressive stat.

Jennings, who is off to a great start with the San Francisco 49ers this season, is coming off a huge performance against the Los Angeles Rams. The former Vol caught 11 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns in the 49ers' loss to the Rams in Week 3.

One of Jennings' 11 receptions against the Rams looked like an old Randy Moss highlight.

According to Pro Football Focus, Jennings now has 11 contested catches on the season, which is tied for first in the NFL.

Jennings, who was selected in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the 49ers, is quickly becoming a household name in the NFL. The Tennessee native is a complete player -- he's one of the best run blocking wide receivers in the NFL, he never takes a play off, and he's dangerous in the passing game.

Vols fans, of course, aren't surprised by any of this. Jennings was a dog at Tennessee and he's attacking every rep in the NFL with that same mentality.
