When you think of the most consistent receiver on the 49ers, most people would think of Brandon Aiyuk. So when I asked Deebo Samuel on Wednesday about Jauan Jennings' stellar offseason, his answer surprised me.
SANTA CLARA -- When you think of the most consistent receiver on the 49ers, most people would think of, who might not be on the 49ers much longer. He wants to get traded to the Steelers and a deal seems inevitable. But for now, he's still on the 49ers.
"I wouldn't even say he has improved," Samuel explained. "Jauan has been the most consistent receiver that we have day in and day out as far as blocking and making plays. That's why we call it third-and-Jauan. He's in better shape. His ball skills have gotten way better. Every time you see him out there, he's giving everything he's got on every route, on every play.
