| Professional Scouting Report | As good of a CB prospect as any since Champ Bailey, Jenkins has all the physical tools to become a perennial Pro Bowler.
|
| Strengths | Great size and he understands how to use it. Great hips and shoulders, very fluid athletically. Breaks out of his backpedal under control and with strong burst and balance. Outstanding mirror skills, and he has the speed to run step for step with any WR. Very adept at jamming and steering the pattern. Great in run support, solid tackler with some thump. Has very good hands and timing to make plays on the ball. Has played some free safety and looked dominant there as well. Very confident in his ability. Has rare closing speed and tremendous instincts. Is the closest thing to a lockdown corner at the NCAA level in at least the last 5 drafts.
|
| Weaknesses | Got away with gambling for the big play a lot in college. Will whiff on some open field tackles, lowers his head too quickly. For such a physical corner he doesn’t shed blocks well. Can run upright. When giving an initial big cushion, Jenkins can be slow to get going. Not a great leaper and doesn’t always challenge for high throws, more apt to try and deliver a big hit to knock it free. Will try and bait the QB too often; strong-armed QBs had some success throwing over the top on him.
