NFL Draft Profile: Kris Jenkins’ strength and versatility speak for itself

Related Topics: Kris Jenkins

Every year, the Michigan Wolverines have turned talented defensive linemen into top NFL picks. This year will be no different.

Kris Jenkins is a smart, high-motor, strong and versatile prospect. He grew up around football (his father was a four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle) and has played with the mindset that he can outlast any offensive linemen with his strength. Jenkins is known as a primary run-stopper who played mostly in a 3 or 4i technique at Michigan; however, he believes he can play 1-technique, 5-technique, and even 7-technique at times.

The biggest thing with Jenkins is consistency on the field.
