    Before the star receivers for the San Francisco 49ers are healthy again, Jauan Jennings is standing out in offseason workouts.

    In the fifth year, the wideout has maintained the good chemistry he formed with quarterback Brock Purdy last season. Where he had a breakout season. According to OTA practice held on Thursday, Jennings kept nabbing almost all the passes thrown his way by Purdy. The highlight? A long sideline pass over defensive rookie Green during seven-on-seven drills.

    Kittle was happy to say about Jennings: “Jauan’s still on fire, which is really fun to see.” Many insiders within the team have long seen Jennings as a reliable performer. Previously, he wasn’t seen as the main third-down receiver, but he started making big plays when the team most needed him.

    “The vibes are high. I would say they are immaculate. The guys are practicing well and competing. Jauan Jennings is still on fire, which is really fun to see.” — George Kittle

    Jauan Jennings and Brock Purdy Connection

    What is different in what is happening now? Not only does Purdy have experience—he’s also very clear about his views, especially after getting a huge contract extension this season. Kittle gave one instance when Purdy shouted after a rare miscommunication: “JJ, keep running.”

    It didn’t happen instantly that Purdy and Jennings connected. Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel often got more attention than Jennings, but his strength, steady play, and ability to run routes have still made him a key part of the team. Since Deebo moved to the Commanders and Aiyuk is recovering from torn ligaments, Jennings is stepping up to play a bigger role.

    Also impressing in OTAs were Demarcus Robinson and rookie Jacob Cowing, who trained with Purdy in the offseason. But it’s Jennings who’s drawing the most buzz as a potential breakout contributor in 2025.

    If Jennings and Purdy keep this chemistry, Jennings might have another larger role with the Kyle Shanahan offense, even if Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) are fit for the start of the season. It looks like Jauan Jennings is getting ready for the season already and Brock Purdy is keeping up.
