The star of this star-studded Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers has been... Jauan Jennings?!
Jauan Jennings is one of Super Bowl’s most unlikely heroes ever for 49ers
Jennings has thrown and caught a touchdown, something only one other player has accomplished in Super Bowl history.


Yes, the seventh-round pick out of Tennessee has been involved in both of San Francisco’s touchdowns. The first one was a trick play pass to Christian McCaffrey, making him only the sixth non-quarterback in history to throw a Super Bowl touchdown.
The second one was a 10-yard reception over the middle to five the 49ers a 16-13 lead early in the 4th quarter. It’s his first postseason touchdown reception, and what a time and place to get it.
Only Nick Foles has caught and thrown a touchdown in a Super Bowl, and he was able to win MVP in the Philadelphia Eagles’ thrilling win over the New England Patriots, denying New England a repeat title.
Jennings has been a popular role player in San Francisco’s offense. He is known for his blocking abilities and reliability as a third-down target. If the 49ers do prevail, Jennings will be one of the top candidates for game MVP.
