Saints Select Georgia DT John Jenkins (Rd.3, No.82)

With the 82nd overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Saints select Georgia DT John Jenkins. nnately strong/powerful, Jenkins can be outstanding anchoring versus one on one OL run blocks and against double teams when he maintains leverage and gets hands on blocker first. Against head up run blocker he flashes ability to jolt OL blocker upright and backwards, can disengage and makes tackle at or behind the LOS. On running plays away, he has the lower body strength and balance to keep his feet vs low/cut blocks and surprising speed chasing down the play along the LOS in pursuit. When he bull rushes aggressively, he makes it look easy jolting and driving OL backwards into the pocket, can shed and pressures passer. For a near 350 pound man, he has impressive hand and foot quickness and can defeat pass block with aggressive punch and arm-over move.

that is one big motherfreaking dude. Hope his motor will continue to run.

 

He played at 370, lost 20 lbs for the combine, could probably lose 10-15 more and he fits perfectly.

 

Guys with weight issues always do very well in the NFL.

 

Holy crap. Closing in on 400 pounds.
