Covers the college seasons in our data, which does not always reach back to a player's first year.
STM Take
Nine years of NFL survival as a 113th overall 4th-round pick puts Jenkins in the rare journeyman S class. The Miami ACC 4th-round origin plus the multi-team experience give him real veteran market value. The 2026 question is whether Jenkins holds tier 7-8 with the Browns at age 31 or whether the structural late-career closure takes hold.
Jenkins came out of Miami as the San Diego Chargers' 4th-round pick (113th overall) in 2017. He has bounced through the Chargers, Jaguars, Seahawks, and now Browns across nine NFL seasons.
Strengths
- Nine years of NFL survival across four teams as a 113th overall 4th-round pick gives him real journeyman veteran S résumé.
- Miami ACC 4th-round origin plus the multi-team experience gives him real plug-in S veteran market value.
Concerns
- Career STTM range typically tier 7-8 across the past several years confirms the structural ceiling has rarely climbed above rotational depth.
- Age 31 plus nine years of S wear puts the late-career structural decline question on every 2026 projection.
What to watch: Whether Jenkins holds tier 8 or better in 2026 with the Browns or whether the role compresses to swing depth.
