Jenkins, a St. Petersburg native, played college football with the University of Miami and was drafted to the Los Angeles Chargers in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft. He joined the Jaguars as a free agent and the team announced Sept. 8 that he would serve as one of the team’s six captains.
Jenkins started in 14 games this season and had a total of 67 tackles, according to the Jaguars website. He went on injured reserve on Dec. 21 after breaking his ankle in Week 15.
