PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Kris Jenkins exhibits a robust and commanding presence on the defensive line, primarily thriving in run-stopping scenarios. His size and strength allow him to hold his position against double teams, making him a valuable asset in a 3-4 scheme as a nose tackle or as a 4-3 defensive tackle. Jenkins' ability to disrupt the running game and push the pocket is notable. However, his pass-rushing skills need refinement, and he may struggle in schemes requiring extensive pass coverage responsibilities.
SCOUTING REPORT
Kris Jenkins exhibits good positional strength and a high-effort approach to pass rushing, which serves him well both inside and potentially on the edge. His ability to fill holes, recover from cut blocks, and shed blockers to make plays shows a level of versatility and effectiveness against the run. While he has displayed some limitations in speed, closing speed in pursuit, and flexibility around the edge, his strengths in strength, initial quickness, and pass rushing ability contribute positively to his overall game and potential as a disruptive presence along the defensive front?
