Cowboys Spotlight: CB Mike Jenkins


Now that CB Anthony Henry has via trade to the Lions for QB Jon Kitna, it is time for the young CBs to step up their game from last year. Nobody needs to do that more than Mike Jenkins after having a disappointing first season and 5th round pick Orlando Scandrick playing much better than him.

Quick Numbers on Jenkins:


Height: 5-10
Weight: 190
College: South Florida
Years: 2
He was selected in 2008 with the 25th pick overall in the first round, but only had 19 tackles on the season.

CB Terrence Newman is the only veteran left in the group and he is constantly hurt so it is up to Jenkins to show that he was worth grabbing in the 1st round. If the Cowboys are going to go anywhere this year, it has to start with guys like Jenkins to play up to their potential. Keep an eye on him through OTA's and training camp.
