Major, I really like the kid; his background, story are one of the best for the Saints in a while. Like you, really, really pulling that he has a breakout at camp as well...

Mixed bag on Jenkins; it's hard to expect consistency from a guy when his role, responsibilities change season to season...

Brought in with two draft picks to be a "0" gap nose tackle for a 3-4 defense that never materialized...

He had a torn bicep during the offseason training program going into the second year...

Last year he was asked and slimmed down for some hybrid 3-tech role in a Ryan-Allen compromise defense (Ryan got all the blame, but shouldn't have been two coordinators)...

Regardless, Big John has got to man up and make the most of it; if he's not happy with the direction, he can leave via free agency and show he made a great effort...
