| Malcolm
Jenkins CB Ohio State #2 |
| Ht:
6'0
Wt: 200
| |
| Strengths: |
| Ideal size and strength for an NFL
cornerback. A true shutdown corner. Has the strength to get physical at the line
of scrimmage, and the speed to know he won't get beat deep. Fundamentally sound
in all aspects of the game. A reliable tackler and a major asset in run support.
Has experience at safety and reads the quarterback very well when lined up at
free safety. Excellent leaping ability and adequate ball skills. A playmaker on
special teams; blocked two punts as a senior. |
| Weaknesses:
|
| None? As with any
rookie there will be areas he needs to work on, but he doesn't have a true weakness.
He could quickly improve his stock by adding some weight - he has the frame to
do so - and it could improve his ability to be physical at the line of scrimmage
and to make plays in run support. |
| Comments:
|
| Jenkins is arguably
the best cornerback to enter the draft since Charles Woodson. His combination
of size and strength are impressive, but what stands out most is how polished
he is as a defensive back. Staying for his senior year helped him tremendously,
and he should easily come off the board in the top ten. |
