Jenkins, Jr.

[CJD]

It's very early in the year, but this rookie class seems to be a good one.

You got Mims, who looked really good in his first start at RT.

You got Jenkins, who had a few great plays yesterday (still would like to see more pass rush from such an athletic DT, but he's still developing).

You got Burton, who only has 1 reception but he seems to be mostly a victim of depth at the position. His explosion should serve us well as he gains more experience and trust.

You got All, who looks like a do it all tight end. Outstanding blocker who has helped spring several big runs this season and he has soft hands and is able to get that extra yardage by breaking a tackle as well.

On top of them, we got Newton, McLachlan and Johnson who all looked good in the pre-season and could easily fill out snaps in case of injuries (Mclachlan is usually inactive, so he wouldn't be able to due to an injury in game, but in following weeks for sure).

Jackson should be coming off IR soon, so I am excited to see if he can help sure up the iDL. He has the body of a run stuffer and the mentality of a 1 gapper. We'll see how that translates to the NFL.
