Janoris Jenkins NFL Draft prospect notes

Janoris Jenkins
5'11, 189 pounds | Cornerback | North Alabama

First word: Janoris Jenkins was extremely close to entering the 2011 NFL Draft, and many reported him as being gone. Perhaps he should have. Jenkins was kicked off the Florida football team in April by new head coach Will Muschamp. He was arrested earlier in the month and charged with possession of marijuana. It was his second drug-related charge in three months and third time while he was at UF.

Now he faces the uphill battle of playing against inferior competition as a senior. No matter how good he plays, people will question who he's doing it against. Some teams may also keep him off their board based on why he had to play a lower level.

Games viewed: (All 2010) Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida State

Bold statement: Because of where he's playing as a senior, Jenkins won't be drafted as high as he should be.

Notes:

• Is a great speed/athleticism player who can run with anyone on vertical routes and keep with quick receivers.

• Has loose hips that he can flip open smoothly without losing a step.

• Shows good instincts to read the play and understand where the ball is going to go.

• Very good hands for a cornerback. In three years, has had eight interceptions.

• Jenkins isn't the best in press coverage because of his lack of strength. Gets past this problem because of his excellent recovery speed.

• Likes to keep an eye in the backfield on the quarterback and can get beaten on double moves or quick comebacks.

• Missed Florida's bowl game because of a torn labrum and will need to undergo heavy medical evaluation. Played most of the 2010 season with the injury.

• His draft stock may be dependent on how well he interviews in the offseason.
