He needs to spend more time in the weight room and get stronger. Jenkins' lack of strength has been exposed in a few jump-ball situations and he needs to be more competitive in tight coverage.
He tends to round off some patterns and will get lazy in this area, choosing instead to abandon his routes and freelance at times. Jenkins will hold the ball too loose from his body and needs to improve his ball security and cut down on fumbles. He will try and make body catches at times, which will lead to drops.
Jenkins has some experience as a kick returner, but isn't overly effective or reliable in this area. The Florida native has struggled in poor weather games, especially snow. Harbaugh said there was no concrete plan about how Jenkins would fit into a group that already had Michael Crabtree and Kyle Williams before adding Randy Moss and Mario Manningham in free agency.
The team also re-signed Ted Ginn at the position. For the second straight year, Baalke landed a player few predicted to the 49ers.
Among the most surprised was Jenkins himself. Jenkins said he was returning to watch the draft from a trip to the bathroom when one of his sisters told him his phone was ringing. He was finishing his semester before joining the Niners. God help him! Settle down people. He was then straightened out by good coaches like we have now and had a career every player aspires to match.
This year he will grow and next year he will be a beast!!! Crabtree is what 0 for 3 now? Last year 49ers players were surprised with the intensity of the workouts, this will lke a cold shower to them to wake the up to the reality of the NFL. Looks like Hairbow may have chosen poorly.
Oh oh. Looks like you are really immature. Jenkins is discovering the hardcore Harbaugh reality. Even Cleveland had a good season back in 06 or Lots of hate. Every year hundreds of rookies show up to their first NFL mini-camp. And yet, despite this happening every year.
Coming in as a lump of dough is a big deal. You must be logged in to leave a comment. Jenkins, a three-time all-academic selection in college, is eager to fully grasp the offense, which he believes will allow him to play more instinctively. He's run a blistering yard dash 4. Not surprisingly, Jenkins' father, Al, is among those who believe his son's skills will translate into an outstanding NFL career.
