Janoris Jenkins
Janoris Jenkins (born October 29, 1988), nicknamed "Jackrabbit", is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the North Alabama Lions and Florida Gators and was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the second round of the 2012 NFL draft. Jenkins had his most success as a member of the New York Giants, who he played four seasons with and made a Pro Bowl, and also had stints with the New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers.
Jenkins attended Pahokee High School, and he played for the Pahokee Blue Devils football team and was teammates with Richard Ash and Merrill Noel. In his senior year, Pahokee went 14–0, beating Newberry 53–14 at the Florida Citrus Bowl for the 2008 FHSAA Class 2B State championship. Jenkins was recognized as a first-team Class 2B All-State selection and a Parade magazine All-American.
Rated a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Jenkins was listed as the sixth-best cornerback prospect in the nation.
Jenkins accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida, where he played for coach Urban Meyer's Florida Gators football team from 2008 to 2010. He became just the second true freshman in school history to start at cornerback in the season opener. He was named to College Football News and Sporting News′ Freshman All-American teams. Despite his strong on-the-field performance for the Gators over three seasons, Jenkins was kicked off the team after he was charged with possession of marijuana in April 2011.
Jenkins subsequently transferred and attended the University of North Alabama for his senior year, after signing an athletic grant-in-aid to play for the North Alabama Lions football team under head coach Terry Bowden.
Prior to the combine, NFL analyst Mike Mayock ranked Jenkins as the second best cornerback prospect in the draft. He participated at the NFL Scouting Combine and completed the majority of combine drills, due to a shoulder injury that led him to skipping the bench press. On March 9, 2012, he participated at North Alabama's pro day and opted to only perform positional drills for team representatives and scouts. Following the pre-draft process, NFL analyst Mike Mayock ranked him as the third best cornerback in the draft. DraftScout.com ranked Jenkins as the fourth best cornerback prospect. His best attributes listed by scouts were his coverage skills, athleticism, explosiveness, and ability to read and react to plays. Scouts stated some concerns were due to past personal off-the-field issues, his smaller stature, and were concerned he could possibly not have the ability to adapt to the physicality of the pro game. NFL draft analysts projected him to be selected in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
The St. Louis Rams selected Jenkins in the second round (39th overall) of the 2012 NFL draft. He was the fourth cornerback selected and the first of two cornerbacks the Rams drafted in 2012, along with third-round pick (65th overall) Trumaine Johnson. He became only the 16th player to be selected in the NFL Draft from North Alabama since 1967 and the first since the 1999 fourth-round pick (122nd overall) Bobby Collins and 1999 sixth-round pick (146th overall) Tyrone Bell. He is the second highest draft pick from North Alabama at 39th overall, only one selection behind 1986 second-round pick (38th overall) Lewis Billups. From 2000—2025, Jenkins still remains the only player drafted from North Alabama in going on 26 seasons.
On July 24, 2012, the St. Louis Rams signed Jenkins to a four–year, $4.99 million rookie contract, that included $2.93 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $2.06 million.
