SANTA CLARA — Jauan Jennings has come a long way from being selected by the 49ers in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft to closing in on 1,000 yards receiving in the San Francisco's final regular-season game. Jennings is having the best season of his five-year NFL career having registered 70 receptions on 103 targets for 923 yards with one game yet to play. The veteran wideout's current total already tops his previous career-high (416) by more than 500 yards. "It means a lot," Jennings said of hitting the milestone. "I'm not going to take anything away from it. I play receiver. I haven't played receiver my entire life. I'm a receiver now so I take pride in it. A thousand yards is a thousand yards." Of course for Jennings to register the 67 yards needed to hit the landmark, the wideout could need an assist from Kyle Shanahan, who doesn't necessarily remember those types of statistics mid-game. With the 49ers' final game of the 2024 NFL season being for pride and not standings, Shanahan might have it more on his mind than usual. "I'll keep that down," Shanahan said. "I'm sure Jauan will tell me too. But yeah, you always want to do that stuff for guys, especially in a...
