Including the 427 yards and one touchdown from his freshman season at Pitt, Jennings amassed 4,121 rushing yards and 43 rushing touchdowns in his collegiate career.

Skill Set:
The easy comparison is Brandon Jacobs—big back with good size who started at a marquee school but made his name playing against lesser competition—but Jennings isn’t quite that good. He’s big enough to run through tackles and is capable of wearing down a defense, but while he rarely goes down on first contact he’s not nearly as punishing as Jacobs. Jennings is quick to the hole and accelerates in the open field, but he lacks the runaway speed of elite backs. His vision, acceleration and cutting ability make him a good fit for a zone-blocking, one-cut system. Jennings is also a natural receiver who wouldn’t need to be replaced on third downs.
