The 2012 season was the first time in S Malcolm Jenkins’ football career that a team he played on missed the postseason.

Adding to the disappointment of the campaign, Jenkins missed the final three games after being placed on injured reserve on Dec. 15 with a hamstring injury.

Despite the team being outside of the playoff hunt when Jenkins was placed on injured reserve, he didn’t take it as a chance to slack off.

Jenkins, who was voted as a team captain by his teammates to start the season, still wanted to help the team as much as he could.

Jenkins wore a headset and held a notepad on the sideline during the final three games of the regular season. He said he took a scouting approach while on the sidelines, analyzing what he saw on the field and advising other Black and Gold safeties including Rafael Bush and Isa Abdul-Quddus that helped fill his void.

“I just wanted to help any way I could,” said Jenkins. “It’s not fun standing on the sidelines so I wanted to make the most of it. I would just point things out to the younger guys and provide any details that can help.”
