NFL veteran returns to CMU, speaks to football team on Tuesday

Since graduating from Central Michigan University in 2003, defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins has done plenty of traveling.

Jenkins played with NFL Europe in 2004 with the Cologne Centurions and has played in 169 NFL games with three teams in 12 seasons.

But until Tuesday, Jenkins hadn’t traveled back to Mount Pleasant.

The New York Giants lineman watched most of football practice and spoke to the team after practice.

Jenkins has ties with Head Coach John Bonamego from when the two were with the Green Bay Packers from 2003-05 when Bonamego was the special teams coordinator.
