Player of the Day - Kelly Jennings

Kelly Jennings. The former first-round draft choice played like one during the 95-minute practice, intercepting a pair of passes.

With cornerback Marcus Trufant out indefinitely because of a bulging disc in his back, Jennings is playing Trufant’s spot on the left side in the nickel – because Josh Wilson slides inside to cover the slot receiver.

Monday, Jennings wasn’t just playing left cornerback, he was making plays. And there was a progression to it.

First, Jennings had blanket coverage on an incomplete pass to Courtney Taylor. Then, he made a lunging tip to break up a pass to Ben Obomanu.

Jennings’ first interception came on a fourth-down pass in the two-minute drill, when he picked off a Matt Hasselbeck pass that was intended for Mike Hass. His second came on the final play of practice – on another fourth-down pass, this one by rookie QB Mike Teel that was intended for Hass in the end zone.
