Early years

Jennings was born in Mesa, Arizona. At Red Mountain High School in Mesa, he lettered in football, basketball, and track. As a senior, he was the team captain of the football team and was an all-region honorable mention as a tight end.

College career

Jennings attended Arizona State University, where he played in 32 games as a tight end and long snapper for the Arizona State Sun Devils football team. He finished his college career with four receptions, one touchdown and nine tackles.

NFL career

Jennings played his entire career as the starting long snapper for the San Francisco 49ers, a role he filled for the team for thirteen seasons.

In 2003, Jennings signed an offer sheet as a restricted free agent with the Detroit Lions. The 49ers matched the offer, and ultimately signed Jennings to a long-term deal.

In 2011 Jennings and Amendment M started Jennings 1-4-1, a long snapping camp for players of all ages. The first camp took place on July 16 at Spartan Stadium in San Jose, CA.

Jennings was selected to his second Pro Bowl following the 2011 season. He had previously been named to the Pro Bowl following the 2003 season.[1] Jennings was released by the 49ers prior to the start of the 2013 NFL season.

Jennings is a regular on KNBR radio, due to his lively personality and intelligently comedic commentary. Jennings has also appeared on the Point After with Mark Ibanez doing post-game commentary on KTVU.

He also has a very peculiar diet, eschewing poultry and pork, largely subsisting on a strict whole grain and beef diet.
