College career

Jenkins started 28 games for the University of Michigan from 1992-1994. Jenkins is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. He was regarded by experts for his large size for an offensive tackle.

Professional career

He was taken 31st overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1995 NFL Draft.[2] He played in only 9 games in 3 seasons before being waived after the 1997 season. Jenkins was subsequently signed by the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings but never appeared in a game for either team.[3]

In 2000, Jenkins was drafted 156th overall by the San Francisco Demons of the XFL but failed to make the team.

In 2007, Charles Robinson, of Yahoo! Sports ranked Jenkins as the worst No. 31 pick since the AFL-NFL merger.[4]
