‘Playing smaller is healthier’

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — John Jenkins is still motivated by how his season went last year.

He was coming off a pectoral njury — the first serious ailment of his career — but he felt his performance, as a whole, was too inconsistent. He didn’t accomplish what he wanted to accomplish. He felt he should have had more sacks, stuffed more runs, and been more disruptive.

So, after showing up to organized team activities and minicamp, and still not feeling like he was where he wanted to be physically, he went on a diet and dropped 35 pounds.
