Rookie corner Caleb Farley has drawn the most attention from Jenkins during camp. He gives us a lot of pointers as young guys, what to watch for.

"He knows how to be a top guy, so I always try to take from his game. New league weeks start every Thursday with TNF kickoff. Draft a league now and start fresh with a 0-0 record and a shortened schedule. It's not too late to play with friends and family. Now Fulton is benefiting from working alongside him every day. Second-year cornerback Kristian Fulton said he used to watch Jenkins at Florida.
Jenkins is becoming a mentor for the younger defensive backs. I do think that that can be a great example for some of those younger guys." "To be in his 30s, to go out there and compete, he loves football and has an energy to him. "There is a level of competitiveness that is required to survive in this league, and Rabbit has done that for a lot of years," Vrabel said. Vrabel respects Jenkins' experience and credits his willingness to compete as a reason why he's lasted so long. Jenkins' approach has not gone unnoticed by Titans coach Mike Vrabel. That's why I come out here and work so hard." So whenever I slack, I fail the team and the young guys. The younger guys are going to look at me because I've been in it so long. "I'm going to be a big tone-setter," Jenkins said. Seeing how much Jenkins is around the football during camp helps explain why he has two seasons without at least 10 passes defensed in nine years. After one week of training camp, Jenkins has intercepted Ryan Tannehill twice. The 10-year veteran is showcasing the playmaking ability that has led to his 26 career interceptions. Jenkins is bringing that same energy to Titans practices. Jackrabbit Jenkins has shown off his big-play ability - as well as his mentoring skills - during camp.
Vance Bedford, the defensive backs coach at the time, told Jenkins during a film session he was running around out there like a rabbit. He joined the Gators in January 2008 and admittedly didn't know the playbook. But that's not how Jenkins got the name.Īccording to Jenkins, he got it during spring ball in his freshman year at Florida.
Coincidentally, the Pahokee area of South Florida, where Jenkins is from, is known for speedy athletes who catch rabbits as they flee from burning cane fields. Jenkins says he no longer answers to Janoris - he just doesn't like it. The new beginning with the Titans coincides with a name change to Jackrabbit. The 32-year-old is on his third team in three years after signing a two-year, $15 million contract with Tennessee. Veteran cornerback Jackrabbit Jenkins (you may know him as Janoris Jenkins) was one of the primary additions. The Tennessee Titans decided to revamp their secondary after giving up 36 passing touchdowns last season.
