Jenkins projects as an edge defender in a 3-4 defense, where his strength and power are utilized to set the edge and occasionally rush the passer.
Year 1 rotational pass rusher and run defender with the ceiling to develop into a starting 3-4 outside linebacker.
His lack of twitch and coverage ability would make him a poor fit for a sub-package 4-3 Will linebacker.
Jenkins is a powerful run defender with a high motor, but his limited athleticism dictates a specific scheme fit.
Selected #83 overall in Round 3 of the 2016 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of Georgia.
