Jennings spent three years with the Titans after going undrafted out of Virginia and having a short stint with the Cleveland Browns.
After spending time on Tennessee’s practice squad in 2017, he finally got his chance in the NFL the following season.
He caught 13 passes for 118 yards in 24 career games in Tennessee. Jennings saw most of his action as a kick returner and totaled a league best 31.7 yards per return and one touchdown in 2018.
Jennings played in just eight games in 2019, finishing with two catches for 17 yards, along with nine kick returns for 196 yards. The 27-year-old was waived on October 31, 2019, when the Titans needed an extra offensive lineman, but was later re-signed in late December.
