Who Are the Parents of Jauan Jennings? All About 49ers WR’s Ex-NFLer Dad Bennie & Ex-Track Athlete Mom Angela Holman

When we are kids, our whole world revolves around our parents. No one can bear being away from them. But sometimes, life puts you in tough situations, and you have no other option but to keep going. It was a long day for Jauan Jennings as he sat through the 2020 NFL Draft. At first, he was hopeful that he would get picked, but as the clock kept winding down, he almost lost hope until his name finally appeared on the screen. The good news was that the 49ers selected him as the 217th overall pick.

Jauan was unhappy, but his father was on cloud nine for his son’s achievement. That’s how parents are; they celebrate your every win like it’s something grand. But it was truly grand in this case, making it to the big league like the NFL.

Who is Jauan Jenning’s dad?

Bennie Jennings, Jauan’s dad, represents all the fathers out there. After falling short of his own NFL dreams, he made sure his son wouldn’t have the same fate. Bennie knew exactly how it felt to not get picked, and he wanted to make sure his son was ready for anything that might come his way. And Jauan? He wasn’t about to let all his dad’s hard work go to waste.

Jauan Jennings’ parents got divorced when he was in elementary school, though he’s never publicly discussed the reasons behind it. He seems to have a strong bond with both of his parents. After coming to terms with the divorce, Jauan moved to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to live with his dad. Bennie worked as a veteran of the highway patrol. When Jauan was younger, his father had to move around a lot for work. They kept shifting from one place to another. The father-son duo went through a wave of changes and braved it together.

Young Bennie, too, had dreams of playing in the NFL. But it’s a hard truth that we don’t always get what we want. Jauan’s dad is a Hall of Famer at the University of North Alabama. After finishing college, he initially signed with the Bucs. Although he was not drafted, he did make it to the practice squad. That did not remain true for long, as, for some reason, he had to give up on that dream.

Who is the 49ers WR’s mom?

Angela Holman, Jauan Jennings’ mom, probably met his dad during her college days at the University of North Alabama. Both Bennie and Angela shared a common interest in sports. While his dad played football with the Alabama Lions, his mom was excelling in basketball and track. So now you know where the 49ers WR got his athletic genes from. Although the two were college sweethearts, they ended up parting ways. Not all love stories are meant to last forever. But Angela and Bennie never let that affect their kids. Their love for their children always remained the same.

When Jauan was at the University of Tennessee, both his parents would show up for him at his games. Isn’t it sweet? We know how much showing up matters. And your biggest cheerleaders will always be your parents, no matter how many fans you have. After Jennings made it to the 49ers in 2020, Angela was the proudest mom. She also believes in keeping her private life away from the spotlight, so there’s not much information about her out there.

Now that Jauan has proved he is a player of caliber, the 49ers are making sure to keep him in the squad. Earlier this year, the WR signed a 2-year deal with the team worth $15.39 million. Remember when he was disappointed in himself for not getting picked up in the draft earlier? Well, he must be happy with himself now. And his parents, Angela and Bennie, must be so proud of their son.
