Malcolm Jenkins, DB

    Selected:

  • College: Ohio State
  • Age: 21
  • Height: 6-foot-0
  • Weight: 204 lbs.
  • 2008 Stats: 57 tackles (34 solo), 4 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 3 interceptions




Scouting Report: Size should translate immediately to NFL game, either at cornerback or safety. One of those guys that simply makes plays over and over again. Jam's well at the line. Exceptional tackler and very heavy hitter, both qualities that bode well for a move to safety. Not great in deep coverage.

2009 Outlook: Jenkins is sort of a 'tweener, which could slow his stardom in the NFL. His lack of elite speed means he might not be able to be a lock-down No. 1 corner in the league, but a transition to safety will take some time. Should contribute in some way right out of the gate; he's simply too good not to.
