Malcolm Jenkins CB 6’1 201 Ohio St.

As a freshman in 2005, Jenkins worked his way into the corner rotation, finishing the year with 37 tackles. He became a starter a year later, earning All Big 10 honors after posting a career high 55 tackles, 4.5 for loss, and four interceptions for the season. Last year, Jenkins had 47 tackles, five for loss, and four picks while earning various All America honors, and earning his second All Big 10 1st selection.

Strengths

Jenkins is as talented as they come as a corner. He has excellent size, athleticism, and speed. His size, strength, and aggressiveness make him a force against the run. His natural athleticism and speed make him a special prospect. He shows the ability to turn and run with just about any receiver in the country. With all his physical skills, toughness, and ball skills you’re looking at a potential shut down corner in the NFL.

Weaknesses

Jenkins is so talented and has a lot of experience, so it is tough to really tear apart his game. The ultra quick receivers may give him a little trouble throughout the route, but his speed allows him to recover and still make a play.

Future

Jenkins and his college teammate James Laurinaitis both returned to school, turning down millions as first round picks last April. Jenkins enters the year as the top corner in the draft, and really should keep that title throughout the year. His combination of talent, instincts, and versatility make him the ideal corner prospect.
