Jauan Jennings Madden Career 2021-2026 - Peak 80 OVR

Jauan Jennings was a seventh-round pick out of Tennessee in 2020, a big, physical receiver who makes a roster on special teams and toughness and dares the coaches to keep him off the field. He did exactly that in San Francisco, clawing his way from a special-teamer into a starting role built on contested catches and downright nasty blocking.

Madden's grade climbed slowly with the role. Jennings sat at a 63 for his first two seasons, the number of a depth receiver, then rose steadily to a 70, a 74, a 77, and a peak of 80 for the 2025 season as he turned into a genuine starter. The grade tracked a career that grew catch by catch rather than arriving all at once.

His signature moment came in Super Bowl LVIII, where Jennings caught a touchdown and threw one, joining a very short list of players to do both in a Super Bowl. He broke out for real in 2024 with career highs of 77 catches, 975 yards and six scores, then parlayed the leap into a new opportunity elsewhere in 2025. Madden's 63-to-80 climb is the arc of an unheralded pick who willed himself into a starter, one physical, unglamorous play at a time.
