    Jelani Jenkins when is he working out

    He tweeted a picture of him in cleats the other day with the message that he was getting ready for pro day ... so I assume he's working out then.

  • A good female friend of mine is best friends with several UF players and has the plug on all the good stuff, and I'm always tempted to get info but I'd never want to ruin her friendship with them. So I just bug TG and the gang. Lol I once gave her a call and could literally here Demps, and Rainey at her apartment acting a fool in her living room. Lol banghead

  • I also posted that because Jelani, and Josh Evans are her two best friends.

  • Jelani might have a plan. He packs on the pounds for the combine to get a respectable 27 reps in the bench press. Though doesn't run.

    Now he could lean up as much as he can, run his 40, but not bench press. I wonder what Jelani will run in the 40. I think he could break 4.5 if he got to a low enough weight but kept his power. At least on a timed watch.

    How will the NFL evaluate him. How many athletes really put a lot of thought and effort into their pre-draft plans.

  • espn said he is having his own pro day seperate from the others

    jenkins and bostic both have long careers in the league imo i think they both stay in the 3rd or 4th round range even tho bostic had 1 of if not the best day at the combine of the LB's

    Jelani is going to be a steal for a team in the mid rounds. First round talent and work ethic but injuries are the big question. I thought he should have declared after his Soph(RS) year. he would have been one of the first 5-6 lb taken imo. With more teams going to spread and NFL D's moving to more nickel sets he's a 3 down BFL backer.

    NFL.com Analysis

    Strengths Showcases good speed, moves well from sideline to sideline. Good burst. Athletic. Works well in pursit, able to track ball carriers and then make tackles. Possessing good blitzing ability. Best trait is his ability to cover. Can run with backs and tight ends. Easily flips hips, and turns his head to find the football.

    Weaknesses Does not possess ideal size or length. Not very strong at the point. Will get latched onto blockers when the get inside his frame. Needs to use his hands better and be more aggressive in shedding blocks. Medical concerns.

    NFL Comparison Nick Roach

    Bottom LineWhen healthy, Jenkins is a dynamic athlete who possesses great value with his ability to cover. However, he's had a hard time staying healthy, and struggles when run at.

  • NFL network reported an ankle injury as the reason lastnite.

    NFL.com Analysis
    Strengths Athletic three/five-technique prospect with solid overall strength. Possesses a quick and long first step when in pass rush mode, can swim over his opponent or get his hands up into his man’s jersey to push him into the backfield. Often lined up outside the tackle (even standing up) despite his size, showed quickness to rush the passer and quick feet to contain on the edge. Combines good effort and short-area agility for his size to chase plays across the field and get his long arms around ball carriers when closing in. Experience as a two-gapper, keeps his eyes in the backfield and sheds to either direction to grab running backs coming his direction. Flashes violent hands to swipe away blockers on his way to the ball carrier. Great balance and flexibility, and shows good change of direction ability and showing some ability to bend on the edge. Excellent at shooting gaps and reducing his surface area while working through trash inside. Splits double-teams in pass protection well with quickness.

    Weaknesses Has long legs and plays with high pad level, at times causing him problems when trying to anchor. Lacks the elite closing speed to make a lot of plays outside the box. Will stop after initial contact, must prove he has the stamina to make an impact in significant minutes against NFL competition. Tendency to stop his feet on contact. While he has experience two-gapping, he still needs a lot of technique work in that area; he has a tendency to turn his body, especially against double teams, causing him to get washed out or moved upfield. Suffered a torn ACL in high school. Changing positions may have stunted his growth in college, as he has never been allowed to focus on one particular skill set.
