A film review of Jenkins’ 2012 performance suggests that this is a signing that is more about depth and creating competition rather than finding a replacement for Brandon Lloyd. Jenkins was used as both a split end (“X”) and slot receiver in Minnesota, which focused more on the short-to-intermediate passing game with quarterback Christian Ponder rather than stressing a defense vertically. As it relates to his frame and skill set, Jenkins has a long, wiry build (6-foot-4, 214 pounds), but his speed has faded since the start of his career. He’s at his best finding space against zone coverages, and tries to win in man-to-man coverage with his post up skills and leverage from his size.
