New York Jets 2019: Ranking the 53-man roster — No. 8 Jordan Jenkins

Jordan Jenkins came to the New York Jets from Mike Maccagnan’s disastrous 2016 NFL Draft, selected after Darron Lee and Christian Hackenberg. The ex GM’s third-round pick (83rd overall), a 6-foot-3, 260-pound Georgia Bulldog weak-side linebacker, started for Gang Green’s as a rookie from Week 1.

After a middling NFL career introduction, Jenkins has amassed consecutive career-best seasons. Jenkins said of his 2019 campaign:

“This year was a stress-free mindset for me. I really changed the way I went about approaching this season and playing this season. I really kept a level head and controlled what I could control.
