Trailing late in the first quarter, it would have been easy for Tennessee WR Jauan Jennings to say “here we go again” and phone in his performance the rest of the day.

Especially when it comes to blocking, wide receivers are a mixed bag. However, it’s clear Jennings takes pride in his blocking abilities.

As you can see in the video below, Jennings (at the bottom of the screen) absolutely levels an Auburn linebacker on a rollout by QB Jarrett Guarantano:

Tennessee obviously went on to win the game 30-24, snapping a long SEC losing streak that included an 0-8 mark in conference play last year.

If Jennings plays like that moving forward, the Vols will continue to surprise some people as the season wears on.
