BLOOMINGTON, Minn. —- They set up early, 20, 30, 45 minutes before he was due to arrive: cameras, microphones, notepads, klieg lights, lined up like a barricade in front of his platform. The last time Malcolm Jenkins was on this stage, he did not leave his hotel room, the nerves and excitement of the looming game too much for the rookie first-round draft pick of the New Orleans Saints to handle. Now, he is a destination, his podium one of the most heavily visited pit stops during media availability sessions, the topic of conversation rarely lingering long between the lines.
