MINNEAPOLIS – The Philadelphia Eagles' Malcolm Jenkins is one of the best safeties in the NFL on the football field, and one of the game’s most important players off it.
In 2009 he was the 14th pick in the NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints, and as a rookie became one of only seven current Eagles to play in a Super Bowl.
Jenkins joined the Eagles as a free agent in 2013, was selected for the Pro Bowl in 2015 and this season and the guy can flat out ball.
Speaking Thursday about what he means to the Eagles defense, Jenkins said, “I understand where we need to be in position or stop what’s coming, and they trust my preparation, they trust my voice so yeah.
