In Defense of Janoris Jenkins

Janoris Jenkins NFL Draft

Someone needs to stick up for this former Gator turned North Alabama Lion.

NEPD Editor: Doug Kyed

Lately, Janoris Jenkins has been a pretty popular guy, unfortunately, it’s for all the wrong reasons.

Everyone is more than willing to pile on and vilify the guy without ever caring to hear the whole story, or truly think about some of his “transgressions.”

Just remember, every one of us has something in our past that would drop us on draft boards. And a lot of us are doing more important and responsible work than covering wide receivers.

There’s good reason, it’s a big position of need for the Patriots. The difficult part is predicting which players the Patriots may be looking at.

2012 NFL Draft Chris Owusu

Chris Owusu had a great combine, now he's ready to move on to the next level.

NEPD Editor: Doug Kyed

I recently got the chance to talk to a real sleeper in this draft, former Stanford stand out WR Chris Owusu. Chris was a great guy to speak to, and he detailed what this whole NFL Draft process has been like for him.

Chris really tore it up at the combine running an official 4.36 40 (tied for 1st among WRs), with a 40 1/2″ vertical jump (3rd), 10’09″ broad jump (2nd), 4.11 short shuttle (6th) and a 6.85 3-cone drill (9th).

We talked about what it was like playing with Andrew Luck, some of the intricacies of the Harbaugh offense, and you may even find out if he would rather play under Jim Harbaugh or with Andrew Luck.
