Former first rounder A.J. Jenkins feeling confident in Dallas

A.J. Jenkins was one of the most disappointing first-round draft picks in recent memory, a wide receiver who spent only one season with the 49ers and never caught a single pass. He was only slightly better after he was traded to the Chiefs, and now he looks like a roster long shot with his third team, the Cowboys.

But Jenkins says he feels good about his chances in Dallas.

“I’m definitely getting my confidence back,” Jenkins told ESPN. “I’m in the playbook and trying to feel like myself back again.”

Jenkins has caught two passes this preseason, and Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he liked what he saw.
