If his speed has anything to do with it he will be safty. CB's need to have "make-up" speed. I can't tell yet if he has speed or not. He's pretty quick as a gunner on kickoffs but that is different. Either way the saints benefit by having a talented player and will find where he fits in on the team the best. Honestly, being Sharpers understudy isn't a bad gig.

Give him a full offseason and training camp, we'll see what year 2 brings.

According to FO, Jenkins was one of the top 10 worst corners in 2009. That being said, he was one of only a handful of rookie corners with significant playing time and he got picked on a lot as the bulk of coverage favored the #1 and #2 receivers. He got islanded up a fair bit. Plus he was usually not in a position to make a tackle if his man got the ball, though his man only got 16 pass catches all season.

He'll only get better working with Greer/Sharper/Gay and against Brees.

Jenkins is a talented kid. With the right guidance, he could become a key CB. I say give him a chance to make something of himself.

What's wrong with becoming the next Darren Sharper?

Re: Reviewing Malcolm Jenkins....
 

Maybe he will become the next DS. Maybe it will take next season for us to figure that out. Either way, he has a lot of potential.

Re: Reviewing Malcolm Jenkins....
 

Potential he does have...no doubt. It just seems to me that we already have our shut-down CB's, but more than that I believe he can become one of those safeties that people dread facing. I wouldn't mind him becoming a great CB and admit that he hasn't been around long enough for any one of us to know what will utimately happen...but I'm just fantasizing about having that Darren Sharper type safety that not only makes big plays on the ball, but also leaves an impression on RB's.
