Strengths: Ideal size for an NFL CB with long arms and a solid frame…has adequate, although not elite timed speed…uses proper technique and is smooth flipping his hips…really uses his hands well for a college cornerback…good ball skills and recognition…recorded 11 picks over the past three years despite being targeted infrequently…sticks with the play…solid tackler, both in zone and in man coverage…displays good attacking style versus the run

Weakness: Needs to add some bulk to be able to more effectively jam at the line of scrimmage…is probably more comfortable playing in off coverage rather than press coverage…

Overall: Jenkins profiles as one of the top cover corners to enter the draft in recent years. He has an ideal NFL frame and played very well at a top flight school. The concerns on Jenkins revolve around his ability to be a true “lockdown” corner in the Champ Bailey or Nnandi Ashmougha style. Never the less, his athleticism, height, and speed will make him a top ten draft pick and long term NFL starter.
