NFL Draft Prospect of the Week: Malcolm Jenkins

Ohio State's Malcolm Jenkins is one of, if not the top cornerback prospect in the 2009 NFL draft class. At this point it appears he is neck and neck with Illinois' Vontae Davis for that honor. Both appear to have solid futures in the NFL, though.

Jenkins is a physical cornerback with good size at six foot and 205 pounds. He has great speed and cover skills along with a good short-range burst to close on his opponent. He displays solid footwork, has a quick backpedal, and fluid hips to turn and run with just about any receiver. He also has good ball skills and adjusts well to the ball while it is in the air.
