Janoris Jenkins... Wtf?

Cornerback prospect Janoris Jenkins was kicked off the Florida Gators’ football team last April after three marijuana-related arrests. Jenkins opted against the NFL supplemental draft, and played his senior season for Terry Bowden at North Alabama.

But Jenkins didn’t turn over a new leaf.

NFL Network’s Albert Breer reports that Jenkins has revealed in pre-draft team interviews that he didn’t stop smoking at the Division II school. While the truthfulness is somewhat honorable, league executives weren’t exactly pleased to hear it.

“This is a multiple offender of the drug policy in college, and it’s not like there were no character concerns at North Alabama,” one AFC personnel executive told Breer. “He had multiple opportunities to get away from it. He didn’t at Florida, and he went to North Alabama and he wasn’t clean there. … It was more of the same.”

Wow.

I'm not sure I'd even take him in the 2nd round now. It's sad. A guy this good, with this much pure talent, has this many off the field problems.

He may be in the 4th when we pick. :o

Him smoking weed is not the issue, to me its that he didn't stop even after getting kicked out Florida for it. Him being honest could be viewed as positive or negative.

Wanted him in the 2nd but not sure if JR would want someone like that on the team.

Well, him smoking is sort of a problem. If he keeps doing it, you're going to draft a player that is going to constantly be suspended.

What worries me the most is the whole "turning a new leaf, humbling experience" speech he gave at the combine about how going to North Alabama made him a humble person, and really changed his life... And then reports like this come out.

There are so many guys in the league that smoke weed, but they're able to because most of them haven't been caught doing it yet. If he didn't have a history that included him being kicked off of one of the best teams in college football because of this problem and almost losing his chance at making it to the NFL, then no one would care what he did.

IIRC, Calvin Johnson either admitted to smoking weed or tested positive for doing so at the combine when he came out, yet, by all accounts he's an upstanding guy.

The fact that he's had serious consequences for it before and didn't stop and apparently has no shame in admitting it means he isn't likely ever to stop. Sounds like another dumbass Rashard Anderson to me.

Just for fun, who do you think blazes on the Panthers roster?

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
