Jauan Jennings looks like a bad fit now... He's done none of that so far. Part of the problem is that Kevin O'Connell has him running a different set of routes that he's not good at... Worse, he's the lowest graded run blocker on the team so far this season according to PFF.

Jennings poor fit for Vikings scheme; lowest-graded run blocker, lacks separation downfield.

Jennings appears to be a poor fit for Kevin O'Connell's current offensive scheme. Despite being acquired as a big, tough receiver who could block and make contested catches, he's underperforming expectations. The source identifies two key issues: (1) O'Connell has him running downfield routes that don't suit his skill set—he's not an athletic receiver or detailed route runner and lacks separation on these routes; (2) he's the lowest-graded run blocker on the team per PFF. The source suggests he may be replaced, with Tai Felton or Myles Price looking like better WR3 options.
