He had a 20-yard short shuttle time of 4.5 seconds. He did the three-cone drill in 7.25 seconds. He performed 24 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. Jenkins is described as looking the part; he&#8217;s got a great physique. He was very impressive in his pro-day workout, showing quickness.<\/p>\n<p>Only four teams showed up at Shepherd&#8217;s pro day on March 31, so Jenkins took it upon himself to perform a workout in front of a larger audience of NFL scouts at West Virginia&#8217;s pro day, and it might have earned him a low-round draft slot. He should at least be a priority free-agent pickup for a team following the NFL draft.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Just another &#8220;camp body&#8221; at this point, the Jets lack of pass rushers make it impossible to rule out any of the linebackers currently on the roster finding a way to stick after final cuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With no proven pass rusher on their 90-man roster, the Jets are taking a look at another project at the position according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL network.
