Malcolm Jenkins
Malcolm Jenkins (born December 20, 1987) is an American former professional football player who was a safety for 13 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes, earning consensus All-American honors, and winning the Jim Thorpe Award as a senior. He was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft and played for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2014 to 2019.
Jenkins grew up in Piscataway, New Jersey and played high school football at Piscataway Township High School, where he helped lead his team to three consecutive state championships. He played both wide receiver and defensive back for the Chiefs football team. He also excelled at track, winning the state title in the 400 metres as a junior.
Considered a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, Jenkins was listed as No. 61 cornerback prospect in the nation in 2005.
During his freshman season at Ohio State, Jenkins spent most of his time in the nickelback position. He finished the season with 37 tackles in 10 games. In 2006, he started all 13 games at corner and was a consensus first-team All-Big Ten. He finished 2006 with 55 tackles and four interceptions. As a junior in 2007 Jenkins recorded 47 tackles and four interceptions and was named a first-team All-American by Pro Football Weekly and a first-team All-Big Ten for the second consecutive year. As a senior in 2008 he won the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given to the nation's best defensive back, after recording 57 tackles and three interceptions.
Jenkins is a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity. He was vice president, stepmaster, and chaplain of the Ohio State chapter; he has two prominent fraternity tattoos, one on his upper left arm and a second one on his chest.
Jenkins and Vontae Davis were considered the top two defensive backs available in the 2009 NFL draft, and Jenkins drew comparisons to Terence Newman. After Jenkins ran a comparably slow 40-yard dash, some scouts considered him better suited for the safety position.
The New Orleans Saints selected Jenkins in the first round (14th overall) of the 2009 NFL draft. Jenkins was the first cornerback to be drafted by the Saints in the first round since Oregon's Alex Molden went eleventh overall in the 1996 NFL draft.
On August 9, 2009, the New Orleans Saints signed Jenkins on a five–year, $19 million contract that includes $11.00 million guaranteed and an initial signing bonus of $800,000. Their agreement ended Jenkins' 11-day training camp holdout.
