He's no better than a 7th rounder. LOL. But that is hindsight.
1) He did put up very good college production.
2) He did run in the 4.3's.
3) He strangely had pretty good hands in college but drops everything in the pros.
Honestly I think 2 things with Jenkins after watching for a year + another camp and Preseason.
1) I think something is in his head. He lost all his confidence.
2) I think he is just not that big and strong for the NFL and struggles with the physical nature of the game.
2 could be causing 1 to get worse.
He barley benched 225 many times at the combine. He was kind of weak. He was listed at 190 something. I'd say more like 180. He's skinny as a toothpick. The 49ers told him to gain weight in the weight room. Add muscle. He added like 4 pounds all offseason. Haha. Not kidding. I think he may just have one of those real skinny builds that can't add a lot of weight or muscle.
His problem has always been that he gets pushed around on jam and in the route too sometimes. He's not physical and can't fight for the ball either with a defender when they are both close.
If you just run him in a straight line he's pretty fast. If you put the pads on and get physical with real football he's not very good.
