With injuries and lack of production elsewhere, San Francisco wide receiver Jauan Jennings morphed into one of the top targets for 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy in 2024. In the Tennessee alum’s fourth NFL season, Jennings topped all 49ers receivers in targets, catches, yardage and touchdowns.

Pro Football Focus contributor Thomas Valentine recently released a list of each NFL team's most improved player for 2024. The choice for the San Francisco 49ers is unsurprising to The Faithful: wide receiver Jauan Jennings.

In 2023, Aiyuk caught 75 passes and scored 7 touchdowns, and then he held out all offseason. He had one year left on his rookie deal that was fully guaranteed and would have paid him more than $14 million, and he still held out. And he eventually got a four-year, $120 million contract from the 49ers just before the regular season started.

Jennings was named as the team's "secret superstar" by PFF.

Six San Francisco 49ers were featured on OTC's list of 100 players that might become cap casualties, including some eye-opening candidates.
