David Tuthill Jennings (born June 8, 1952 in New York, New York) was an American football punter with a 14 year career from 1974 to 1987 in the National Football League. He played for the New York Giants and the New York Jets. He worked as a radio commentator for Giants games from 2002 until 2007, when he was replaced by former Giant linebacker Carl Banks. He had also worked as a radio commentator for Jets games from 1988-2001. With his encyclopedic knowledge of the game, Jennings worked as a game analyst alongside WFAN Giants announcers Bob Papa and Dick Lynch. In addition to his booth work, Jennings was a part of the Giants pre and post game shows, covering player interviews from the locker room. Jennings has been replaced on Giant pre and post game show by former Giant lineman Roman Oben since the start of the 2008 season.

He is one of the great punters in Giants history. He went to 1978, 1979, 1980, and the 1982 Pro Bowl. He played college football and graduated from St. Lawrence University. He did not play high school football.

In 1995, Jennings was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
