Pay that man. He does the dirty work nobody sees — and never complains. That’s a real Niner.”
—Richard Sherman
Former 49ers All-Pro Richard Sherman is sounding off in support of wide receiver Jauan Jennings — and he’s not mincing words.
With Jennings reportedly pushing for a new contract or a potential trade, Sherman is reminding everyone just how vital No. 15 is to San Francisco’s identity. The stats may not pop off the page, but the impact? Unmistakable.
Jennings has become the team’s third-down enforcer, a tone-setter in the run game, and the guy who brings edge every single snap — all without ever demanding the spotlight.
Sherman, a respected voice in and out of the locker room, knows a “real one” when he sees it — and he says it’s time the front office rewards one of the most selfless players on the roster.
Will the 49ers step up? Or will another team make the call?
