The Ravens’ inaugural 1996 NFL Draft class was legendary, starting with two Hall of Famers in Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis.
The next pick after them? That would be second-round cornerback DeRon Jenkins.
Jenkins didn’t have as much success on the football field, but found a second career from another love of his: home restoration.
Jenkins is now the host of HGTV’s “Flip or Flop Nashville,” where he and ex-girlfriend Page Turner combine to purchase homes in need of help and restore them for a profit. The show is in its first season.
The Ravens drafted the Tennessee product and plugged him into a defense that struggled in the franchise’s early years.
