Brandon Jenkins injury: Florida State defensive end out rest of season
Presswire
The offseason process will now be critical for Jenkins. Unless he can get healthy in time for the Senior Bowl, his stock for the 2013 NFL Draft will be torpedoed. He was already a linebacker/end tweener, often overshadowed on his own team by end Bjoern Werner. Without Jenkins, look for FSU senior Cornelius “Tank” Carradine to ascend up draft boards.
Jenkins has had 21.5 sacks the past two seasons with eight in 2011. Jenkins was named a second-team preseason All-American this year by Sports Illustrated.
