I think Jennings is solid, he just needs to show he can bulk up enough to be effective at the position. Especially right now, because the team needs to get more physical.

Jennings coverage skills seem very very good, but his ball skills and reacting to the throw, not so much.
There was a couple of red zone throws that he was in great position for and should of been able to knock them down or at the very least he should of been able to tip them. But even though he was in the right position his reaction time to a fast throw the ball got right by him.
I've read that Jennings is working ahead of McMillian in OTAs but that probably means nothing. I think most agree after Burnett McMillian has the most upside, but he's just got to make less mistakes and know the defensive system better as well know what the offense is up to better. But if he has the mental side down better then he very well could be the starter.
Also sounds like they were working Hyde and McMillan as the slot CBs in the dime package (with Hayward on the outside). Got to remember Shields hasn't sign his contract yet, and House is still recovering from Surgery so once they get back Hayward might go back to the slot.
