Professional career
On December 5, 2016, it was announced that Jenkins had accepted his invitation to the 2017 Senior Bowl.[2] During Senior Bowl practices, he got into a physical altercation with Grambling State's wide receiver Chad Williams.[3] After the fight, coach Hue Jackson abruptly ended practice and addressed the South team players, stating that Jenkins and Williams had both possibly hurt their draft stock and made a poor impression.[4] On January 28, 2017, Jenkins made two combined tackles and helped Cleveland Browns' head coach Hue Jackson's South team that defeated the North 16–15. Jenkins was one of 60 defensive backs that attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. He finished ninth in the broad jump and 22nd among all defensive backs in the 40-yard dash.[5] On March 29, 2017, Jenkins attended Miami's pro day, but opted to stand on his combine numbers and only performed the short shuttle, three-cone drill, and positional drills. During the draft process, Jenkins attended private meetings and workouts with the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[6] At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, he was projected to be a third to fifth round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. Jenkins was ranked the fifth-best free safety by NFLDraftScout.com.[7]
