Jenkins's skill set and measurable traits are ideally suited for schemes employing a two-gap 3-4 defensive line or a one-gap 4-3 run-stuffing tackle role.
He projects as a Year 1 rotational interior lineman with the ceiling to become a starting two-gapping defensive end or a stout nose tackle.
He would be a poor fit in a penetrating, one-gap 4-3 scheme that prioritizes quickness and disruption over raw power and anchor ability.
Jenkins's size and strength make him an appealing prospect for schemes that value a strong run defense and a controlled interior lineman.
Selected #41 overall in Round 2 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Washington Redskins out of Clemson.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
